Ashleigh Barty's nice gesture when it comes to getting vaccinated against the coronavirus

Ashleigh Barty has shown why she is a champion both on and off the slopes. The Australian tennis player, number 1 in the world, has been one of the players who have already received the vaccine against the coronavirus. However, Barty's attitude during the vaccination has been exemplary.

Barty told a press conference about the process by which he got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine during the Charleston tournament but without sneaking about the people who needed it most. “We were looking at different ways to try to get the vaccine without skipping the line in Australia. We wanted to see what our options were and it seemed like we wouldn't have the answer before we left the country in March.”

Barty confessed that he finally got the vaccine after learning that the most vulnerable people had already gotten it.. “In the end Tyz (Craig Tyzzey, his coach) and I were able to get the vaccine, as many players on the circuit have done and They had arranged it through a pharmacy that had vaccine extras. It was very important for me to know that the most vulnerable people had received the vaccine first. “

Finally, the Australian made a plea in favor of vaccines as a resource to regain normalcy in the circuit. “Tyz and I have had the vaccine for almost two weeks now and it's good to know that we have a little more protection. I think we are doing the right thing and following the rules of the circuit but knowing that this gives us extra protection is a little easier. “
