I have a different view and have friends who have been advised by their doctor to have Pfizer but when presented to be jabbed have been refused even with a note from their Doctor. AZ isnt safe for all over 60 IMO just as Pfizer isnt safe for everyone either depending on an individuals medical profile and candidates need to be advised by their Doctor on which is safer. My daughters MIL cant have AZ due to blood Clot issues but cant have Pfizer either being 60 plus and has been told to wait.
Other states want their vaccination rates up quickly so are offering both, where are their supplies coming from?
I dont have a problem with younger folk having priority but when Pfizer vials are thrown away at the end of each day due to cancelled appointments I cant work out why over 60s who want them cant have those about to be expired doses if they are on a waiting list. Like it or not AZ is a damaged brand and to beat vaccine hesitancy I think like the other States Victoria should offer the choice where possible ie youngsters a priority but any spare or going to waste Pfizer allowed into the arms of over 60's.
We want better vaccination numbers and need to be more flexible IMO and not have a Premier giving attitude to over 60's...thats not going to get them jabbed and more likely the opposite.
Especially a Premier who fecked up Quarantine with his Private security debacle, cost lives and then couldnt remember/lied about the details in front of a Inquiry and threw his health minister under the bus to save himself. He is the last person to be lecturing 60 plus year olds on the merits of ethical behaviour IMHO.
