Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has angrily snapped at a reporter that a dog bite in the backyard was why she had the Pfizer vaccine rather than getting 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. The example of Ms Palaszczuk and Prime Minister Scott Morrison getting Pfizer jabs had been cited by many over-50s who had refused the AstraZeneca vaccine that is available to them now. Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young, 57, got the AstraZeneca vaccine on Monday morning.
