I'm in QLD. I lose track, and each state's a bit different. Pretty sure NSW now open to all age groups above 16. They have thrown more vaccine numbers at NSW (over 70% adult popn now with min one jab) and now VIC. QLD/WA lag down the bottom at 50-51% one dose. But that as much about apathy/laziness as any supply issue.

They have a supply of AZ in Victoria (where they make it) about to expire soon. So have opened that supply up now up to younger people, and I understand some younger people have decided to take that up. They also dropped the wait time between AZ doses from 12 to 6 weeks. VIC could go the way of NSW, with large increase in cases so I guess, not surprising folks there now very motivated to get vaccinated.

AZ has had some (tiny number) of blood clotting incidents linked to it, and more recommended for 50/60 plus age group. I'm age 52 and got AZ, in QLD. Freeing up the limited Pfizer for the younger crowd. My 49 year old tradie brother here, who gets his info from that quality source, known as talkback radio, only wanted the one that 'doesn't kill ya'. So I managed to book him a Pfizer appt, on the 3rd clinic I rang. Again that apathy thing (admittedly he does do 50-60 hr work weeks), so if I didn't do it, he would still be unvaccinated at Xmas.

Surprised NZ didn't buy some AZ off Australia, to speed up vaccination of the over 60s.
