There have been many concerns around Australia's COVID-19 vaccines, but most notable among them are the risks.
Health authorities, medical experts and scientists continue to advocate for their safety and to debunk myths around common concerns, but many Australians still believe getting a coronavirus jab will put them at risk.
The reality is all vaccines are thoroughly tested for safety before they are approved for use in Australia, which includes careful analysis of clinical trial data, ingredients, chemistry, manufacturing and other factors.
The risk of blood clots in particular is what has Aussies most concerned, or the general idea that if they're younger, the vaccine will put them more at risk than what contracting COVID-19 would.
