The Novavax vaccine rollout aimed at those hesitant about the other COVID-19 vaccines has kicked off in more than a thousand general practices.

Dr Anita Munoz, whose Melbourne practice administered 25 doses on Monday, says she was initially unsure how many vaccine-hesitant patients who said they were waiting for Novavax vaccine would go through with it.

“But it’s actually more than most people thought.”

She said some of her patients were encouraged to delay vaccination by church groups.
