Vaccinating young people with AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine should be the exception rather than the rule, says the co-chair of Australia’s peak immunisation advisory body.

Associate Professor Christopher Blyth said this morning that ATAGI’s advice was unchanged and still recommends the Pfizer vaccine as the “preferred” option for under-60s.
