Scott Morrison is holding his second press conference of the day, announcing changes to the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine in Australia. The Prime Minister, along with chief medical officer Professor Paul Kelly, are currently fronting the media in Canberra over blood clot links to the COVID-19 vaccine. Prof. Kelly announced that AstraZeneca will now be "avoided for under 50s". Pfizer vaccine will be the preferred vaccination for those under the age of 50-years-old. Earlier, Mr Morrison had said the Australian Government would wait for the nation's panel of experts to review new links between AstraZeneca and blood clots before making any further changes to the rollout.
