My guess is he was trying to get Pfizer.
There is no way you would have to wait that long for Astra Zeneca

I had my second Pfizer shot. After the 1st shot I went to Saigon Princess in Bexley so my side effect was horniness I Will admit during the session I get fatigued but I was still able to fulfill my destiny. I also went to Broadway the next day. So side effect still horny & 2 sessions in the space of 24hrs. This all happened the 2 days before lockdown. After today’s shot my side effect is sadness cause I can’t do anything about the fact I’m horny again! It didn’t help that my shots were at Royal Prince Alfred which is close enough to my previous destinations.
They are begging people to take AZ know to try and bring the transmission rates down as so many are waiting for Pfizer and Modena or just ambivalent about getting vaccinated. The Government has already stated when you get your third booster shot next year it will be different to your first two so you build a broad range of anti bodies.
The stocks of Astra Zeneca will expire on the shelves or maybe we will donate them to a Third World nation.
The simple fact is the Australian population do not want Astra Zeneca.
They are fearful of the clots or have doubts about it's effectiveness over new strains and they don't like that the shots have to be 12 weeks apart.
So they are trying to get Pfizer.
Even if there is several weeks delay for Pfizer they figure they will still be fully vaccinated (ie two shots) quicker than getting Astra Zeneca now and another one in 12 weeks time.
Or they figure they will wait for new supplies of Pfizer to arrive next month and still be all finished up quicker than getting Astra Zeneca now.
Whether these fears, doubts, strategies etc are well founded is another story, but the fact is this is how people are thinking.
Basically the Federal Government fucked up in basing it's vaccination strategy too heavily on Astra Zeneca and not buying those 20 million doses of Pfizer when they we offered. Of course we are all wiser with the benefit of hindsight.
The game changer will be if there is a major outbreak of covid again - I mean hundreds or even thousands of cases daily, and a few dozen deaths.
If that happens then people will panic and will settle for any sort of vaccination, taking the anything is better than nothing approach.
So the best strategy is to not wait for a major outbreak, but to get in now and get any sort of vaccination you can and start building up immunity and Astra Zeneca will definitely do the job. We will probably be mixing and matching jabs anyway over the next few years just as we do with flu shots (does anyone know or care what brand of flu shot they get?)
But people are not always rational and logical.
I'd be interested to see the scientific evidence (not opinion pieces written by "experts") that confirms that vaccines prevent or reduce the acquisition of the virus.
As far as I can see no one appears to be collecting the data on whether positive cases were vaccinated or not. Kerrie Chant has confirmed that they are only just starting to look at that, after a journalist asked that question three days in a row.
You can't make a judgment on the UK data either as they're continually expounding mutually exclusive data sets to convince the public.
If they are collecting this data then they aren't releasing it, I wonder why? I'd be very happy to be proved wrong.
They already have mentioned that the az we produce is going overseas
I'm having my 2nd AZ today after about 6weeks, I am one of the "expendables" as 4647 would call me because he calls it "the survival of the fittest", although I am pretty fit for a 70 year old and I have a big family who care, and also I have a lot of flying to do.....stay safe and vaccinated y'all......

It appears the Chinese vaccine has not been effective in preventing the spread in countries like Indonesia and Thailand with the authorities looking outside for other vaccines to stop the spread of the delta virus. Even though AZ is being rejected by many Aussies for its rare blood clot issue, other countries are happy to get it and give it to their people.

Lmao another idiot take by western msm on china with just cherry picking data. US and UK cases are rising despite vaccination by western vaccines only. So western vaccine dun work?

Isreal probably top 3 most vaccinated nation in the world with large percentage of population double dosed with Pfizer vaccine. Experiencing rise in cases again.
But western msm: blame china vaccine.
Missing the point. Vaccines don’t protect fully against infection (although very effective), they prevent severe disease in almost everyone. Latest figures out of the US show that only 2.7% of hospital admissions are of vaccinated people. So the rise in cases you speak of is pretty irrelevant unless that’s the only metric you care about. I’m more worried about severe disease on my end.
Got my 2nd Pfizer yesterday. I’m 34 and healthy. Had it at 11am, around midnight started feeling a bit shaky and went to bed. Woke up thru the night a few times with a brain-splitting headache lol. And shivers etc. popped 2 Panadol at 7 am, woke up at 11 again feeling much better. Had another little nap and woke up feeling like shit again haha. Just popped 1 more Panadol and will eat and drink to get my energy up. Should be fine by this evening. Especially with the happy thought of being much less at risk now (but still aware that I’m not 100% protected)
Yew, happy and healthy Sunday y’all

I need to wait for a couple of month to get my first vaccine shot. Hoping to get it soon
Lol this thread
Get the vaccine, people are idiots for not trying to protect themselves
Yeah I got my two Pfizer shots a few months ago.
First shot no symptoms at all. Just a bit of a sore arm.
Second shot was a different story. The next day I felt like crap. Headache, backache, fever, no energy etc. But it only lasted 24 hours and then I was all good. It's normal symptoms for most people with the second Pfizer shot.
Anyway got it over and done with. One thing less to worry about.
I don't see what all the drama about vaccination is all about. It's just part of your health care routine. Just like going to the dentist, having blood tests, controlling your diet and drinking, not smoking, doing some exercise etc.
I wasn't really worried about covid before the jabs and I'm not worried about it now.
The chances of catching it are still low (3000 cases in a city of 6 million people over the last 5 weeks) and I am healthy and so even if I do get it it will probably just be like a cold.
But not getting vaccinated is just plain silly and irresponsible. And it will just make your life more difficult and complicated as governments, corporations, airlines, venues etc (maybe even brothels?) gradually introduce an internal vax passport by stealth. Resistance is futile.
I guess I am just lazy. My philosophy of life is the path of least resistance and getting vaxed is an easier option than not getting vaxed.
I'm getting pfizer in September and I'm youngish so I wonder how it will go( like how you mentioned above), I'm not allowed to get AZ at my age due to a condition but even Then I would be hesitant. It was like when the boeing planes where dropping out of the sky and everybody didn't want to fly it - all it takes is the media to run it and people make up their minds already
