NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association general secretary Brett Holmes said it was “reasonable to assume” many health staff under 50 were following the ATAGI advice and wanted to wait to receive Pfizer vaccinations.
“Not surprisingly, nurses and midwives want to be assured they are getting the best protection available to them as their level of risk to exposure is higher than the average person,” he said.
A number of NSW hospitals currently administering the AstraZeneca vaccine will be converted to Pfizer hubs from next week, as the state moves to prioritise delivering the Pfizer shot to frontline workers and their families.
