The vaccine rollout has growing pains

What"s That Rash? ·

2021/03/17

The government has been urging Australians to embrace covid vaccines but now that phase 1b is just days away, the infrastructure underpinning this is being put to the test. About 6 million Aussies fall into the coming phase, and about 1000 GP clinics are part of the rollout plan. But many people, keen to get the vaccine and trying to book appointments, are being told clinics listed on the government website aren't part of the rollout, or that they haven't yet received vaccines and don't know when

Australian health authorities and regulators have assured the public that there is currently no evidence to suggest the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine is not safe or is causing blood clots. It's come in response to several European countries pausing the AstraZeneca vaccine rollout amid blood clot concerns. The European Medicines Agency is currently investigating reports, and is due to report back on Thursday, and as such the Australian rollout will continue. So on today's Coronacast, what we know

It's now several weeks into Australia's vaccine rollout, and while people are being immunised daily, there hasn't exactly been a massive ramp up. 165,000 people have been immunised so far, which is behind what the Federal Government had hoped to achieve. The target was 4 million people initially set for early April, which is only a few weeks away. So on today's Coronacast, what's the hold up with the vaccine rollout? Supply or delivery?

Coronavirus has slipped past our infection control systems once again, with health authorities in two states again chasing down the virus. In NSW, the hotel quarantine system seems to have been breached with a vaccinated security guard testing positive over the weekend. And in Queensland, a doctor has been infected after assessing a known COVID positive patient in hospital. So on today's Coronacast, can we expect this to happen less once the vaccine is further rolled out to frontline workers or

The Vaccines Weren't Developed As Quickly As You Think

When public figures talk about the coronavirus vaccine, you might hear that it's amazing that it was developed so quickly. While many are keen to talk up the amazing efforts of scientists, the statement that the vaccine was developed quickly can actually cause many people to worry. And in reality, the coronavirus vaccines being rolled out in Australia were NOT developed all that quickly, and were approved via exactly the same process as every other drug you've ever taken.

In the scramble to get the coronavirus vaccines through rigorous safety and dosage clinical trials, many types of people weren't included in the studies. One massive group are people who are affected - or have been affected - by cancer. People with cancer are more vulnerable to contracting COVID-19 and have a higher risk of suffering severe disease, so a vaccine is a vital part of their health care.

2021/03/08

The global effort to vaccinate as many people as possible, as quickly as possible is gathering pace, but new variants have thrown a few curve balls. Australia has secured enough vaccines to immunise everyone several times over, but would a better long-term public health strategy be to vaccinate those in surrounding poorer countries first? The idea behind this is that large COVID-19 affected populations are more likely to throw off new variants, which might be worse than what we're currently dealing

In a worrying turn, Europe has had an uptick in new coronavirus infections last week ending six weeks straight of declines. More than a million cases were recorded last week, with The World Health Organisation saying variants first identified in South Africa, the United Kingdom and Brazil are behind the rise. Closer to home, two people have tested positive to the so-called South African variant while in hotel quarantine in Canberra. So on today's Coronacast, will we be able to vaccinate enough

It seems we can't go a day without some new coronavirus variant popping up somewhere in the world. There's the so-called UK variant, the Brazil variant, the Californian variant and now the Russian variant. And to make it even more confusing, the name of the variant doesn't necessarily mean that's where the variant actually came from. So on today's Coronacast, what are the variants?

With the passing of another day, more Australians have been vaccinated against COVID. But as more and more of us get either the Pfizer vaccine or the Astra vaccine, proving it may become important as we take steps to reopen borders and the economy. One strategy that's been tried overseas in countries like Israel are what's known as vaccine passports - the idea being that to get into a movie or a gym, you need to prove you've been fully vaccinated.

The first week of coronavirus vaccinations has now rolled out across Australia, and the data show that already we've missed our goals. According to analysis by the ABC, the country has fallen short of its target, delivering half the expected number of shots. Health Minister Greg Hunt says the Federal Government remains committed to meeting the end of October target.

With limited amounts of coronavirus vaccines available, health care organisations are taking extreme steps to ensure not a drop is wasted. Rollout plans that would normally take many months to develop have been done in mere weeks to ensure essential workers at the nation's borders are as protected as possible.

The AstraZeneca vaccine has arrived in Australia, and the Federal Government says it will start rolling out to people in the priority phase 1a group within the next few weeks. But the evidence suggests it's not as effective as the Pfizer shot at protecting people against new variants and preventing transmission. Australia's main risk from another coronavirus outbreak is a hotel quarantine leak, so is the Astra vaccine the right shot for people working on our borders? On today's Coronacast, a look

It comes as vaccines continue to rollout across the country, and a small but regular supply of the Pfizer shot arrives. So now we have access to a vaccine, how will that change how we respond to any outbreak that happens from now on?
