CV and mad panic behaviour

The rollout had a stage where only those 60+ were eligible for the vaccine (leaving aside vulnerable categories and certain workers. Then at a certain date, it was 50+ and 60+ people had no priority over 50+ people. Now  those who are 40+ are eligible, meaning the 50-60 year olds have no priority over the 40-50 year olds. Surely you’re not suggesting the 50-60 year olds should now be able to claim priority over the 40-50 year olds? And surely it’s time for the general category to be opened up to the 30+ ...

EDIT: I think we’re saying the same thing EB - the 50 to 60 year olds should have no priority concerning the Pfizer vaccine and should have just the same right as others in the under-60s general category. I guess the only issue you’ve taken further is the right of over-60s to chose Pfizer. If 60 is a safe limit, then the Govt should be able to only offer AZ given the need to ration Pfizer. Over 60s don’t have to take it. But I’m not in any position to comment on whether it’s safe or not.

Mav, I'm just saying over 60's should have the right to choose Pfizer and the Government should order more instead of persisting with Astraz. Should they have priority over 30-50 year olds...No......but when the Queensland Govt are offering the choice I find it difficult to understand how the Federal Govt are pushing the AstraZ to over 60's and where are the Qld govt getting their supplies of Pfizer from if there is shortage everywhere else.
I think if the Federal Govt scrapped the Astraz and ordered more Pfizer then the vaccination numbers would rapidly increase as I read its the 50-69 year old age group that is lagging in vaccination takeup and the answer why is fairly obvious..
