Over 50s to receive AstraZeneca
23 April 2021 - The vaccine rollout will be fast-tracked for over 50s but the plan comes with a catch as the country experiences limited supplies.
Most Australians aged over 50 will only be allowed to have the AstraZeneca vaccine for now, as officials bring forward the rollout for people under 70.
Due to a limited supply of Pfizer doses, the majority will be held exclusively for Australians aged under 50, with the exception of aged care residents, frontline health and border and quarantine workers in Phase 1A.
