The MVEC and SAEFVIC teams are deeply saddened by the passing of Penny Jones.
Penny was instrumental in founding 澳大利亚脾脏, based at the Alfred Hospital. She was a passionate advocate for patients without a functioning spleen and was dedicated to reducing their risk of infections by providing education and individualised support. Her unwavering commitment to ensuring patients had access to affordable vaccines was unparalleled.
It has been an honour to have known and worked with Penny. She will be missed by her colleagues, friends, and everyone whose lives she touched.
