There were 112 new locally acquired cases recorded in NSW as it was decided to make the AstraZeneca vaccine available to over 40s in the state.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian spoke of “outstanding conversations with the NSW Pharmacy Guild” which have resulted in the decision to make the AstraZeneca vaccine available to lower ages, however warned people to “consider your own risk”.
With new procedures in place, under 40s will soon be able to access AstraZeneca at vaccination hubs without advice from their GP.
Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant urged anyone who had received their first dose of AstraZeneca within the past four weeks to call their GP to see if their second dose could be administered between six and eight weeks.
