Australians under lockdown have been urged to receive a second AstraZeneca dose within eight weeks of their first jab.
Sydney is in the grips of an ongoing outbreak, with NSW reporting 38 new local coronavirus cases as the city and surrounds prepare for at least a third week of stay-at-home orders.
A 12-week gap between AstraZeneca jabs has been recommended as the most effective way to protect people.
But Prime Minister Scott Morrison wants people in the worst-affected areas who have received their first jab to make second dose appointments closer to eight weeks.

He said his latest recommendation was consistent with the advice of the expert immunisation panel Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI).

Australia will soon have access to up to one million doses of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines per week, with supplies of the jab set to triple.
The country currently has between 300,000 and 350,000 Pfizer vaccines doses a week to administer.
That will jump to one million a week in the second half of July, with 4.5 million expected in August - significantly more than first anticipated.
The boost is not due to extra supplies. The 4.5 million doses were previously expected in September, and are now being brought forward by a month.
