13 million Novavax doses due to expire as Australians stick to mRNA boosters

shows that, out of 51 million doses purchased by the Commonwealth and 13.3 million delivered, just 210,000 doses of the protein-based vaccine have been administered.

The health department would not say how many of the more than 13 million doses delivered but not administered had been thrown out. Doses began arriving in February, when Melbourne virologist Angela Luttick became the world’s first person to receive a Novavax jab in a staged media event alongside then Health Minister Greg Hunt, who hoped to persuade hesitant Australians to get the more traditional, protein-based vaccine.

Trizzino, who will meet with Health Minister Mark Butler on Thursday to lobby for the Novavax vaccine to play a greater role in Australia’s vaccine program, said this had reduced choice for people who preferred a protein-based vaccine.“Australia is currently primarily reliant on two vaccines built on the same mRNA technology platform,” he said, pointing to global examples of flu vaccine programs halted by factory closures, formulation errors and unexpected safety issues.

Literally not offered as a booster

Have you ever tried to book a Novavax through the government’s website? You can’t. They only redirect to Pfizer jabs.

We should be able to bankrupt politicians who make choices like this.

Good. Flush them all down the toilet. They don't 'vaccinate', they don't work (says CHO Brett Sutton) and there are tens of thousands of documented deaths and serious injury (search DAEN). STOP voluntarily injecting yourself with an experimental substance.

COVID vaccination program should only have focused on the vulnerable and choice ?

Hilarious 😆

If they allowed them in kids or as boosters they might have got used by the mrna hesitant

Anything about the 'coincidental' excess deaths Australia just so happens to be experiencing 'coincidentally' after the mass rollout of a perfectly 'safe and effective' novel genetic drug that is absolutely not responsible for a massive increase in excess deaths of Australians?

I refused this too. I'm still alive. Why can't ppl just admit not everyone needed the jab, especially seeing that it doesn't stop infection/spread and isn't even for whatever strain we are up to lol

We all did the training. Pity they waited.

Waste too much money, who will be responsible for it?

Talk about misleading - these were only available if people who couldn’t use one of the other options due to a medical reasons

No one l know wants any boosters,

Well if they don't tell people these things are available, how're they supposed to know. If they'd run a serious media campaign, like slip, slop, slap or the HIV one people might have been galvanised to act.

I'll have another one.

If Australians have refused the jabs nothing will make them get them now

I'm sure rejiggering Dan Andrews can fix this 🚀

Good

Focus should now be on boosting COVID immunity, not avoiding infectionEvading infection with Omicron will not be possible forever. The good news is that infection and vaccination offer much stronger and more long-lasting protection than infection or vaccine alone. | OPINION by Peter McIntyre What a farce! Not long ago the Science said the injections were 95% “effective”, now they say impossible not to get infected but get another “vaccine” for additional protection. These people mandated faulty products on the population. Clowns Big claim to make since this version was tested on just 8 mice...people who line up for this are the lab rats Please get your story straight! Just try to tell the same lies as everyone else!
