COVID-19 vaccines - Your questions answered


Event description
Hosted by Michael Rowland, this Q&A event will see our experts tackle your questions around the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Australia.
About this Event
What is mRNA? Why are there two vaccines on offer? What’s the difference? What does herd immunity mean? How long will the rollout take? Are the vaccines safe?
As Australia begins to rollout the COVID-19 vaccine, we are faced with an abundance of new information, technical terminology, and vaccine myths and misinformation. It can quickly become confusing and overwhelming.
The Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity has been at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic response – clinicians treating patients in hospitals; scientists continuing to perform tests on suspected cases and viral genomic sequencing; epidemiologists working closely with the State and Commonwealth Governments on policy; and researchers working on antibody tests, treatments and a vaccine.

Vaccine snub anger | Northern


Michaela Meade and Jessica Micallef
Aged care residents in Whittlesea and Hume will need to wait at least one more week before receiving the COVID-19 vaccination, with all aged care homes in both municipalities left off the week one vaccination schedule.
The federal government last week announced the location of the aged care centres that would receive the vaccine first. The national roll-out of the Pfizer vaccine began yesterday.
Epping Gardens Aged Care, which recorded the third highest number of cases among aged care centres during Victoria’s second wave, has not been scheduled to receive the vaccine this week.

Aged care homes in Altona Meadows, Ballarat, Cowes, Drouin, Lara and Delacombe have also been included in the first week of the roll out.

Australia's vaccine rollout is dealt a major blow by a syringe shortage


A global shortage of syringes could hamper Australia's coronavirus vaccine rollout by causing thousands of doses to be wasted.
The Pfizer vaccine, which started its rollout on Sunday morning, uses a custom-made low dead-space syringe, which Australia has ordered.
These syringes can extract an extra sixth dose from a vial of the vaccine, whereas standard syringes can only get five.

'Even with a steady hand and a sharp eye, often you can't get out that last drop,' Mike Toole from the Burnet Institute in Melbourne told the Herald Sun.
