The NSW government has announced changes to the coronavirus vaccine rollout as the state scrambles to combat a rapid spread of the Delta variant that appears to be outrunning contact tracers.

People over 40 are now able to access AstraZeneca jabs at all NSW Health sites and will soon be able to access the jab at green-lit pharmacies across the state, Ms Berejiklian announced on Monday.“You can now start making bookings through NSW mass vaccination hubs if you want the AstraZeneca over 40,” the premier told the media on Monday.

“The current risk situation has changed dramatically… Because we actually have COVID and the Delta strain circulating, it then means that your individual risk of acquiring the strain is very much different than it would have been a month or so ago when your community risk would have been very low,” she said.

Meanwhile a large vaccination clinic will open in the Sydney CBD on 19 July to administer up to 7,000 vaccines each week.
