CANBERRA, May 21 (Xinhua) Medical experts have warned Australians over 50 not to delay getting their coronavirus vaccines despite blood clot fears.
Omar Khorshid, the president of the Australian Medical Association (AMA), told News Corp Australia on Thursday that with winter approaching Australia is vulnerable to a coronavirus outbreak. The best way to protect our community is for the vulnerable to be vaccinated, especially those aged over 70, who are vulnerable to very bad outcomes if they contract coronavirus, he said.
His comments were a response to Health Minister Greg Hunt, who implied earlier that over-50s currently eligible for the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine could choose to wait until doses of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines are available late in 2021.
