Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has defended getting the Pfizer vaccine over the AstraZeneca jab despite being over the age of 50. After weeks of concern about her perceived vaccine hesitancy or lack of urgency, Ms Palaszczuk finally got the jab on Monday morning. The 51-year-old received the Pfizer vaccine despite government advice that people over the age of 50 should receive AstraZeneca. Today I got the Pfizer vaccine in the event I need to travel to Tokyo for the Olympics. The Queensland premier is the last Australian state or territory leader over the age of 50 to get the jab.
