The AstraZeneca vaccine (forgive me for not knowing its latest rebadged name) continues to be a very important weapon in our arsenal to vaccinate the nation. The fact that AstraZeneca has been particularly provided to people over the age of 60 is because of the supply constraints in relation to Pfizer and the fact that younger people have greater clinical risk, as demonstrated by advice from ATAGI.
