ATAGI have told the Prime Minister to pull back on the AstraZeneca vaccine for under 50s and use Pfizer, but who are they?
On Thursday evening, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Health Secretary Brendan Murphy announced that Australia was diverging from its plan to use the AstraZeneca vaccine for the bulk of the population.
In doing so they said that Australians under 50 would no longer receive that vaccine, but the Pfizer one, less than 24 hours after the UK announced similar measures for citizens under 30 years of age.
During the announcement from the PM and Dr Murphy they frequently cited ATAGI research as the reason for their change in policy, so who are ATAGI? Why is the government listening to them? And what did they say about the AstraZeneca vaccine to change the minds of the federal government on Australia’s planned vaccine rollout?
