Hunt: Over 50s should still proceed with second dose of AstraZeneca | Sky News AustraliaMinister for Health Greg Hunt has advised those aged over 50 who have received their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine should proceed with a second dose. \n\n“There are approximately 815,000 Australians who have had a first dose of AstraZeneca and are waiting for a second,” he said. \n\n“If you have had a first dose, no matter what your age, of AstraZeneca, please proceed with a second dose unless there has been a significant adverse contraindication.\n\n“The advice as provided both by ATAGI and the Chief Medical Officer has been very, very clear that they should proceed with the second doses as was the case when the previous advice was given.\n\n“The global evidence is that there is a very, very low case level right around the world with regard to any adverse reactions to a second dose of AstraZeneca”.

'Very clear medical advice' behind age raise for AstraZeneca jab: Greg Hunt | Sky News AustraliaHealth Minister Greg Hunt says Australia “followed the medical advice” in the decision to raise the recommended age of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.\n\n“We followed the medical advice which has been very, very clear and what we see is Australia has one of the most conservative age ranges now, if you look at the UK, which allows AstraZeneca for 40 and above, South Korea 30 and above, Germany for 18 and above,” he told Sky News. \n\n“What our Australian medical authorities have done is look at the international evidence and said for 50 to 59s we’re now recommending Pfizer rather than AstraZeneca but if you have had your first dose please come forwards and have your second dose.”\n\nMr Hunt said the rigorous testing on the vaccine has put Australia in a good position as blood clots were discovered earlier in Australia and defended the decision to give the jab the full assessment even though it slowed the vaccine rollout.\n\n“We’ve taken cautious decisions in relation to vaccinations, I remember many said let’s just rush this vaccine in without having the full assessment process.”\n\n“That full assessment has meant we were able to detect cases earlier than other countries, treat them better but nevertheless we’re following that medical advice.”\n\n Just do away with AZ and give Pfizer to everyone! That 'medical advice' has been implemented in Europe and Canada for nearly 6 weeks, Australia must still be receiving its advice by sea mail. Keep the propaganda flowing, this government is criminally negligent. Auspol ScottyMustGo The health advice they are receiving is deceiving

The strangers bringing stranded Australian children in India back homeSome parents have faced numerous hurdles in trying to return to their children in India - leaving them with no other option but to seek out other stranded Australians they don't know through social media. Who the hell leaves their kids overseas? Are these kids Australians or Indians? About time their parents made a choice. Spot the rort! Which person leaves their children in another country? Its back-door immigration by stealth. Besides coming from a covid hell hole we don't need these people darkening our door There are many wealthy migrants that have servants overseas. When they come here, don't want to pay for childcare and leave the kids with grandparents. Fine, but its a pandemic and not our responsibility to bring them back. No one made you do it.
