The AstraZeneca vaccine is now available at the local GP for all Australian adults who understand the risks and are willing to take the vaccine.

On the evening of June 28, following an emergency cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that while the British vaccine was recommended for peoples over 60, the advice now does not prohibit those under 60s from receiving it.
