over 2,080,000, or approximately the population of Perth. These are the people who've been vaccinated. Those that are doing it—our nurses, our doctors, those that are testing, our pathologists and their assistants—are real heroes. In particular, I also spoke with Loretta Facey, from the Hastings medical centre in my own electorate. Loretta and her fellow nurses and the doctors—she does say that the nurses have done the bulk of the work—there and at their counterpart facility, the Chelsea Heights Medical Centre, between them have done 15,000 vaccinations. Loretta Facey, from the Hastings medical centre, alone has done over 3,500 vaccinations. She's an Australian vaccination hero, but she is one of thousands and thousands of nurses and doctors at over 5,160 GP practices, along with our pharmacists, who have done an extraordinary job. These people are saving lives and protecting lives in record numbers.
