Astrazeneca Won’t Be Needed In Australia From October

The national vaccine rollout plan, released yesterday afternoon, has revealed that AstraZeneca vaccine doses will be phased out by October. By this stage, it is expected most Australians over the age of 60 will be vaccinated. From October, AstraZeneca doses will be replaced with up to 2.3 million Pfizer doses per week around the country, as well as up to 614,000 Moderna doses. The AstraZeneca vaccine will be available by request.

Currently, more than 6.86 million doses of Pfizer and AstraZeneca have been administered. 49% of over 50s and over 66% of over 70s have been vaccinated according to Health Minister Greg Hunt. However, it is still unclear as to when vaccines will be available for younger age groups.
