Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed the much needed acceleration of the vaccination program – which includes 150,000 extra doses of Pfizer and 150,000 AstraZeneca vaccines. Under the new agreement, Australia will have access to 2.8 million Pfizer doses for the remainder of July, and more than 4.5 million next month, according to The Australian. The mass introduction of Pfizer doses should be a game changer in Australia - especially given the jab is recommended for all age groups - not just those over 40. Pfizer is also looked upon more favourably by many compared to the Astra Zeneca vaccine, which has had rare incidents of blood clotting. 'Compliance with the ­orders that have been put in place by the NSW government could not be more critical.'
