NSW Health authorities are prepared to prop up the federal government’s mass vaccination rollout to guard against further delays as the first AstraZeneca hubs opened in Sydney on Wednesday | Kaubo LucyCormack

The state’s responsibility for the national vaccination program should formally end with Phase1B, which prioritises quarantine healthcare workers, international aircrew and their families.

Ms Berejiklian said NSW had administered close to 90 per cent of their allocated vaccines so far given vaccinators have only been able to get five doses out of each Pfizer vials with the current syringes, not 74 per cent quoted in the federal government’s figures.Most Australians are expected to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine at GP clinics in line with the federal government’s phased approach, beginning with the elderly.

But the state will soon have access to dead space syringes capable of extracting six doses from each vial.

Kaubo LucyCormack Can you imagine having to go to St George Hospital for a jab. Street parking is at max and the car park is expensive. The walk from the railway station is hard for older folks. Cabs really expensive.

Kaubo LucyCormack Fixed it: will continue to prop up

NSW doctors advised against administering AstraZeneca | Sky News AustraliaThe NSW branch of the Australian Medical Association has advised state doctors not to administer the AstraZeneca vaccine to people aged under 50 unless there are exceptional circumstances. \n\nThe move follows the fallout from the AstraZeneca saga last week when a European regulator identified there was a small risk of blood clots associated with the vaccine. \n\nAt the end of last week, the federal government updated its health advice and recommended no one under 50 take the AstraZeneca vaccine – securing instead an additional 20 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine. \n\nThe extra doses are expected to touch down in Australia by the end of the year. \n\nFollowing the significant blows to the nation’s vaccine rollout, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced the government will abandon all targets. \n\nVia a Facebook post, the prime minister said, “While we would like to see these doses completed before the end of the year, it is not possible to set such targets given the many uncertainties involved”. \n\n“We will just get on with the job of working together to produce, distribute and administer the vaccines as safely and efficiently as possible.”\n not surprising. Why administer AZ, when you have a perfectly safer alternative with no blood clot issues? The only reason might be for front line workers, who need protection, but there's no Pfizer in the country. The AZ vaccine will be sidelined..for over 50's too, delayed jabs And, who's your source? Rowan Dean?
