COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:47): Supplementary: where a South Australian is now overdue for their second dose but had AstraZeneca for their first dose, will they be able to avail themselves of a Pfizer shot for that second dose at these clinics?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:48): My understanding is the advice continues to be that dose rounds should not be mixed, although I do hesitate on that because my understanding is—

The Hon. T.A. Franks: The Prime Minister said.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: —there might be advice in relation to pregnant women—

The Hon. I.K. Hunter: It would be a very brave person to take the Prime Minister's advice.

The PRESIDENT: Order! I'd put that mask back on.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: My understanding is that in normal circumstances SA Health does not advise that a vaccine course started with one vaccine should be finished with another.
