The head of Australia’s Vaccination Taskforce, Lieutenant-General John Frewen, has clarified the expert advice about eligibility for vaccinations after Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Chief Health Officer Dr. Jeannette Young appeared to give conflicting advice to Australians about the AstraZeneca vaccine.
On Monday, the prime minister said that people aged under 40 could get the AstraZeneca vaccine if they made an informed choice in consultation with their GP.
