WHILE pharmacists across Australia are waiting for the green light to join the COVID-19 vaccination rollout, Canadian pharmacists and sisters, Diane Harpell and Tiffany Savary, gave their mum and dad their first shot of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine this week.
The family gathered at Harpell's pharmacy, The Medicine Shoppe, in Dartmouth, Halifax, for the special occasion as the siblings innoculated their parents, CBC News reported.
"I felt honoured to be able to give back to them," said Savary.
"We wouldn't be here if my dad wasn't a pharmacist ... so it was kind of going full circle to be able to care for them after they've done everything for us."
Proud father, Arthur Hodder, said it was a momentous occasion to get the shot.
"To have both my daughters being part of the process, you can't get any better than that," he said.
"You know, it's almost like, okay, now we have the vaccine, let's go celebrate."
