Getting the COVID-19 vaccine didn’t hurt Labor MP Peta Murphy that much - it wasn’t nearly as bad as the needles she has regularly as part of her treatment for metastatic breast cancer.
“If you’ve had a flu injection, it’s the same, it’s honestly didn’t hurt at all,” she said.
But Ms Murphy said she wasn’t getting it for herself. The Labor backbencher volunteered to get her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine in front of dozens of journalists and television cameras to show other people with underlying health conditions that it was safe.
