Just over 3500 vaccines were administered in Victoria on Wednesday, down from a daily average of about 6000 a fortnight ago. It follows last week’s advice from the Australian Technical Group on Immunisation that the Pfizer vaccine should become the preferred vaccine for people aged under 50, rather than the AstraZeneca vaccine.
