COVID vaccines: where the bloody hell are we?
New AstraZeneca advice puts a spanner in the works, so what are our alternatives?
Australia’s vaccine rollout program is now being overhauled due to new recommendations regarding the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Based on the advice of the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI), the Federal Government has recommended that people under 50 preferentially receive the Pfizer vaccine over AstraZeneca. This follows similar decisions made by regulators in Germany, Norway, Canada, the UK and other countries where the vaccine is being administered.
The recommendation comes after reports of serious side effects of blood clotting disorders, mostly associated with younger people.
