The Australian COVID-19 Vaccine options.
Australia has a few different options for a vaccine to reduce the infection rate for the Covid corinavirus.
Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine
The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine has the advantage of being available very quickly and having a reasonable effective rate. 70% with 1 full doses, or 90% using a half dose, followed by a full dose. It is also available in sufficient quantity to cover the entire population.
Pfizer vaccine
The Pfizer vaccine has an effective rate of 95%, but with only sufficient doses for 5 million people.
Australian Vaccine Plan.
Final vaccine testing has not yet been carried out, so a final decision is yet to be made, but at the moment, the vaccination plan is for the Pfizer vaccine to be used for the higher risk population, and the AstraZeneca vaccine, available in greater numbers, to be used to protect the rest of the population.
