BRISBANE – Australian swimmer Cate Campbell has had to incorporate something new into her fine-tuning as she prepares for a fourth Olympics.
The two-time Olympic gold medalist lined up Monday to get the first of her two injections of the Pfizer vaccine at the Queensland Academy of Sport in Brisbane, one of five venues where athletes queued on day one of the program. “We’re going into a pretty unknown situation over in Tokyo so to have this little (injection ) is a huge weight off everyone’s shoulders,” Campbell said.
Australia’s national coronavirus vaccination rollout is behind schedule and Olympic participants needed special government approval to access vaccines this month.
