Australia ponders allowing Olympic athletes to jump line for vaccine

Olympics: Australia weighing whether to let athletes jump vaccine queue

By Syndicated Content Apr 15, 2021 10:00 PM MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia is considering whether to prioritise athletes and support staff in the COVID-19 vaccine rollout with the Tokyo Olympics fast approaching. The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has asked the government to allow athletes to jump the queue as the country s national vaccine program struggles with roadblocks. The government is in direct contact with the AOC over its proposal to priority vaccinate all Olympic team athletes and support staff, sports minister Richard Colbeck told state broadcaster ABC. Australia has restricted the rollout of its favoured AstraZeneca vaccine to people under 50 over blood clotting concerns, slowing the national vaccination programme further after the European Union blocked exports to the country.
