Lisa Wilkinson is feeling like a proud mum after her daughter Billi FitzSimons decided to get herself vaccinated against Covid-19.
The Project host and her family live in Sydney, which has been in lockdown since late June.
To keep herself and others protected, Billi, 23, took herself to the doctors to get her AstraZeneca dose.

She captioned the milestone moment with some high praise by sharing, “My girl just got her first AZ jab. 23 years old and couldn’t be happier. Good on you @billifitz 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.”
A couple months ago Lisa documented her AZ journey on her Instagram, and she candidly opened up about feeling nervous, but she got through it with her husband by her side and some ice cream.
“First AZ shot done and literally didn’t feel a thing… So glad to finally have the first one out of the way. Hubby and I went together, and he got his SECOND shot at the same time,” Lisa captioned the post.
“I have to admit, I was a tiny bit nervous, so I bought one of those tubs of Magnum ice-cream (that well known medical cure-all) this afternoon just in case I was feeling bad tonight. I feel great. I ate the ice-cream anyway…
“Meantime, here’s to life getting back to normal (and Magnum ice-cream!!).🎉 🌺 🍦 🍫 🥂.”

To cope with the Delta strain that’s caused a long-term lockdown in Sydney, the government has made AstraZeneca available to people 18-years and older.
Although it hadn’t been recommended to young people, the government decided to change the rules with expert-backed reasoning.
