Australia offers all adults AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to speed up rollout
Fox News
Australia is offering AstraZeneca to all adults in a bid to rapidly ramp up sluggish vaccination rates as more of the country on Tuesday locked down against the spread of COVID-19.
That exceeds the single death from COVID-19 in Australia this year, and vaccine hesitancy has increased with only 5% of the population fully inoculated. Pfizer has been the recommended vaccine for people younger than 60 since a 52-year-old woman died in May of blood clots in the brain blamed on AstraZeneca. But supply of Pfizer, the only alternative to Australian-manufactured AstraZeneca, cannot keep up with demand.More Related News
