Talk:Australia: AstraZeneca vaccine access expanded by Victorian government

Reporter's notes
Contacted Crozier using information from the Victorian Parliament website, asking "Do you think this new policy is a good idea, and why/why not? What are your thoughts on the role that AstraZeneca vaccines should play in the vaccination rollout?" Her response is below + forwarded to scoop email.

Hi Alison,

“AstraZeneca has been used around the world to assist with mass vaccination programs. Fortunately for a Australia it is manufactured here, is available, and can be used for under 40’s with doctors guidance.”

“Victoria is in its 6th lockdown. Rolling lockdowns like this are unsustainable and that’s why we need AstraZeneca to be utilised that will assist with the vaccination targets set by Governments. “

Hope this helps.

Regards Georgie
