Australia news LIVE: NSW COVID-19 cases soar as Victoria fights to keep Delta under control

Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt has just confirmed that the Therapeutic Goods Administration approved the Pfizer vaccine for 12 to 15-year-olds overnight.that the next step is for the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation to give its approval.“If ATAGI gives the second green light... immunocompromised and kids with underlying medical conditions [will be] immediately added to the phase 1B [of the rollout and] able to access Pfizer,” the Health Minister said.

Mr Hunt confirmed that September, early-October is the expected timeline for under-40s to receive their first Pfizer jab.7.23amSydney’s Delta variant outbreak initially was centred in the city’s eastern suburbs after first being spread in Bondi. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Thursday said fears the virus was “spilling over” into neighbouring LGAs had been realised, with more and more cases recorded in the Cumberland and Canterbury-Bankstown areas. Blacktown, Liverpool and Georges River also recorded an increased number of cases.

didn’t. It was a half apology that was forced. It wasn’t sincere, and it didn’t go to the core of the problem.

TV News offer panic then compliantly parrot LNP like it’s perfect scientific truth. Where’s the SCREAMING they would do to Labor over this absolute chaos & blame? The TV applauds the punishment of Sydney Labor electorates rather than get underway to remove this Fed & NSW Gov

First the announcement and if you're lucky the follow up with an actual vaccine might be available in a year's time scottyfromannouncements

Nominal Pfizer for all.

Well GregHuntMP that will not help with NSW and their self imposed NationalEmergency

Now that Pfizer vaccine is coming into Aus at 1 mill doses per week it is also surely time to allow the over 60’s the courtesy of offering them the choice as it has been for everyone else. They are among the most vulnerable and the PM would be wise to allow this ASAP.

Based on what studies

So which Rich kids private schools will now get Pfizer over vulnerable people in the aged & disability sectors & all frontline staff. Just watch as all the privileged rich kids get vaccinated first.

So more people eligible for a vaccine we don’t have enough of…yay!

He must hand in his resignation letter and disappeared for ever

Anyone who knows where in NSW to book a Pfizer jab before end of October, please advise!

Who cares just like myself, his father, adult brother and sister my 15 yr old won't be getting any vaccines

Stupid decision. Vaccine is new virus to teenagers

Great. We don’t have any available yet for frontline workers yet.

What’s the point? Can they access the vaccine?

What about 18 to 39?!!

More announcements ffs

Wake up parents... auspol

For when 2023?

You really want to expose kids to this? auspol

But again, there isn't enough supply to vaccinate adults let alone our kids.

jesus christ people DO NOT give this poison to your kids pfizer inflames heart muscles leading to heart attacks or life long heart issues dont do it to your children!!!

Vaccine is a higher risk for them than Covid

After 3 months of trials? And an issue with the spike protein not cleaving as it should and becoming toxic?

That age group that isn't getting sick? They can take an experimental vaccine now! Please clap

May as well announce that we can be protected from covid by unicorn urine.....makes no difference as there isn't any around ! COVID19

Imaginary Pfizer for young people. I guess, like the two Sydney private schools, they can steal it from the large numbers of unvaccinated 1A people if they are rich enough and know the “right” people.

If only Scotty had made an effort on Pfizer supply

What about us over 60?

Good another approval for a vaccine without full approval.

Good. So everybody will get Pfizer now..... just not over 60s cos Morrison never orders enough.

Huge investigation into Anthony Fauci emails enacts a Senate enquiry. Please stick to facts of beginning, middle, end. Your narrative launches fear only. Intelligence sits in experience. You fail your readers here miserably. Fauci Lied. People still die.

Why on earth do kids need to be vaccinated against something that doesn’t effect them? If you’re an adult and scared of the virus then consider getting vaccinated but pushing vaccines on kids?

Some very excited Joey's parents.

That’s nice. Could we get some please?

Could he now ensure some is ordered so High School students can be vaccinated as soon as school commences in 2022?

Don't have enough for under 60's. What a debacle.

Murderer!!!

Nice! Another approval for the drug we don't have enough of.

Please give me more lock down. We need to eliminate this virus. I'm so scared. I hope we never open up again. What happens if we get 1 case again USA only had 35035 cases and 268 deaths yesterday. Maybe we can't beat Delta with lockdowns. Sadly I doubt Dan will give up on them until 2030.
