The Queensland government will restart the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in the Torres Strait Islands next month amid concerns about the AstraZeneca jab.
The Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service put the brakes on the region s rollout last week following medical advice recommending AstraZeneca be avoided for people under 50 due to the risk of extremely rare but serious blood clots.
There has been concern over the pause in the border islands, some of which are visible from Papua New Guinea which surpassed 10,000 virus cases earlier this week.
TCHHS chief executive Beverley Hamerton said the vaccine drive will restart when a special fridge to store the Pfizer dose arrives in the region.

Work on the $17.4 million redevelopment of four Torres Strait island primary healthcare centres has reached the halfway point with two islands completed.

Minister D’Ath said the island PHCC works are part of $100 million worth of capital projects for the Torres and Cape HHS either completed in the past three years, underway, or in the planning stages
“With the works on Poruma and Masig now complete, staff will begin relocating into the new facilities in early May,” she said.

The Queensland government will pause the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in the Torres Strait for up to a month, with extensive community consultation to be undertaken to address concerns before its restart.
Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service executive director Tony Brown says the issues affecting the delivery of the AstraZeneca vaccine has affected communities in the region. It is vital that we reach out to each community and provide them with clear information and advice about the vaccines, the risks and benefits associated with them and anything else our communities might want to know prior to restarting the vaccination program, Dr Brown said.
