Your writer mentions the mystery of the 90 per cent efficacy rate for those people who accidently received a low dose in the AstraZeneca trial, followed by a standard dose ( Gambling on the right vaccine , January 15). No matter why it happens, why not adopt this as standard immunisation practice rather than implement a procedure with only 65 per cent efficacy?

Reluctance to adopt the AstraZeneca vaccine compared with Pfizer vaccine centres around the efficacy disparity - 65 per cent versus 90 per cent in the latter ( Comparing virus shots is tricky, especially at speed , January 15).

If Britain, America, Canada, Israel, Chile, Belgium, Argentina and many other countries are already rolling out vaccines for COVID-19, why is Australia sitting back and waiting (‘‘New entrant in vaccination race’’, January 1)? When are we going to see some proactive approaches implemented by our national cabinet and scrap leaving it all to individual state governments to deal with? It’s more than time that state governments either introduced vaccinations themselves or utilised the national cabinet to get the ball rolling. Other parts of the world will be vaccinated while Australia is still dithering. We want vaccines in Australia and we want them now. ....
