The advice from ATAGI has always been to consult your GP with all vaccines, IIRC that's what the both the PM and Andrews said when it was suggested that younger people could get AZ if they wanted to. Re the 60 +/- 1 day, I remember both an AMA guy and an ATAGI or TGA rep saying its a line in the sand they had to draw, that is they had to pick a number (with some science) but speak to your GP.That was pushing the responsibility onto GPs, you go to a GP and they only give you the pros and cons, they don't want to make hard recommendations.
The advice was no AZ for under 60s from ATAGI, it was Scomo who pushed for younger people to have it and not ATAGI even with GP advice.. He has been lobbying them to change their advice officially.
