A Sydney man who tested positive to COVID-19 visited Canberra, including a busy exhibition, while possibly infectious

The editor of the Medical Journal of Australia, Professor Nick Talley, has pleaded with people who have had their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine to get their second jab.

“Please have your second dose,” he said. “The evidence is very clear. Vanishingly rare you’ll have any side effects with the second dose. So that’s the important information for people to know.“The second dose is really, really safe. So, please, if you’ve had your first dose get the second dose. Because you’re not fully covered until you’ve had both doses.”, despite health experts reassuring people that the risk of a rare blood clotting disorder is much lower for second doses.

The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is now recommended for people under the age of 60 instead of under the age of 50.“It sends a message that I think has confuse people,” he said. “And that’s really concerning. Obviously as the data accumulates the health advice can change and that’s what has happened here. “But I think it’s a pity for the vaccine rollout because with the Delta and other serious variants out there, we’re all still – if we’re unvaccinated – at high risk. And that’s a problem.”.

The 40-year-old man’s test results showed low virus levels which NSW Health has not been able to rule out as a possible case.Credit:

'Incentives' to receive COVID-19 vaccination are 'just not there': Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Australians won't get a 'super high level' of the COVID-19 vaccine take up unless the country 'opens up a bit' and gets used to the virus actually being around the place.\n\nMr Kenny said the government needs to provide 'incentives' to get vaccinated when pursuing a virus elimination strategy.\n\n'The incentives for vaccination are just not there in this country at the moment,' Mr Kenny said.\n\n'If we have a virus elimination strategy there is very little incentive to get vaccinated unless you are elderly, unless you are at risk of serious illness or death is high.\n\n'For the rest of us, the tiny risk of illness from vaccination versus the tiny risk of a serious illness or death from a virus that is just not in circulation – it's a shrug of the shoulders choice isn't it for many people.\n\n'So I've said it before and I'll say it again. You won't get super high level of vaccine take up unless we open up a bit and get used to the virus actually being around the place.\n\n'When a disease is hardly a risk to most of the population, there needs to be a proper, clear incentive for vaccination.' Is CK still raping dogs ? Or we are convinced the vaccine actually works🤷‍♂️
