TGA considering changing storage rules of Pfizer jab, could allow Aussies to get dose at GPs or pharmacists: Hunt
20 May 2021 - Australians could get access to the Pfizer jab through GPs or pharmacists, on top of state-run hubs, after Health Minister Greg Hunt teased a possible change in vaccine storage conditions.
Pfizer’s mRNA jab, preferred for those aged under 50, originally needed to be stored at ultra-cold temperatures until a recent change allowed doses to be stored in normal fridge temperatures of -2C to -8C for up to five days.
But Mr Hunt, speaking in Brisbane, confirmed the TGA was considering another change to line up with those made by European Union authorities this week.
