NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant has urged older people who have had one dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine to bring forward their second dose to six weeks after a woman in her 90s, believed to be unvaccinated, died with COVID-19

Dr Chant said the “vast majority” of cases continue to be detected in south-western Sydney.

Asked whether schools would reopen after four days of home learning this week, the Premier said: “Schools are safe but what is not safe is having hundreds of thousands of people leaving home the same time, dropping kids off, picking kids up. That level of interaction is always a concern for us. Obviously, as a government, our priority would be to return to face-to-face learning, but only when it’s safe for the broader community.

NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet told Sky News on Sunday based on current COVID-19 case numbers, it looks “very likely” the lockdown will be extended beyond July 16.“Last year there didn’t seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel whereas I think now that the vaccine program is rolling out across the state, that gives hope that this will hopefully be the last time that we have to go through this.

Mr Perrottet said it was a very challenging time for NSW businesses, no doubt experiencing “significant pain” and doing so without JobKeeper.

That’s not what ProfPCDoherty says.

Gladys and Morrison rolling through like the SS

What happen... where are your otherwise excuses. 'Oh she had underlining complications' 'Oh she she she'.... always find blame

Medical advice changing again ?

With, not from. Read all of the words people.

Do you make it up as you go along?

A dead 90-something is hardly “hold the front page”

I strongly recommend that everyone book in at Sonic HealthCare, just lie about their eligibility if necessary and get their Pfizer vaccination because the NSW government are making it so difficult for me to get it even with my wife working in aged care. It's what I did!

This sounds like some random advice. Where is the scientific proof to recommend this course of action?

There are the sort of people, not in Australia national interest , who think covid and vaccine are rubbish When I , an Australian who tried to warn people 2 weeks ago, they come back with thinly veil racial ridicule

Respectfully, she was in her 90s. RIP.

How on earth was a 90yo unvaccinated! They’ve had every opportunity since February!

Might be difficult for receptionist at local GP to move appointments

If only Dr Chant had urged an early, sharp lockdown when the Bondi Cluster was at only 2 cases It’s pretty difficult to take her seriously now

What proof is there that efficacy will not be reduced? Clinical trials were also based on 12 weeks.apart, so safety has not been established for a shorter time frame. Chant is an ex GP not an immunologist.

How old?

My Doctor will be delighted! This has nothing to do with use by dates on AZ has it?

I'm due for my 2nd one on the 30/8/21 What guarantee have I of the use by date .I heard that Morrison may have to destroy some, or give them away before the expiration date .?

For those complaining about the lockdown, increased policing etc, the Netherlands have just announced a one day 803% increase of COVID cases (10,300 cases) and they have no restrictions in place - I would rather deal with 77 cases than that.

In her 90s .,Unvaccinated ? The info from other sources says she was vaccinated but wait you can’t say that on national tv .. a patient with pre existing health condition who is 90 and dying of COVID vs another with pre existing Heath issues in her 90s dying normal death 🤷‍♀️

Lol

as if that will protect them. Going completely against research, efficacy reduced if not wait 12 weeks from 81% to 55%. That's for under 55. For elderly this will give them false security they are well protected. THEY ARE NOT

But the woman was over 90 (95? 99?) and UNvaccinated. She had not had one dose yet.

Some GPs refuse to do this. Say that it’s not medically advised. messaging is all over the place.

I didn't choose the date of my second vaccine. The health department booked it.

Gladys has allowed covid to Rip GladysTheSuperSpreader

GladysB continues to insist schools are safe, based upon what evidence? Under 40 year old teachers not vaccinated, students not vaccinated and currently young people are in hospital and in ICU, vaccinesforteachers

Have they told the GPs?

And we urge her to read our advice:
