AstraZeneca vaccine approved, paving way for home grown doses – Sydney Morning Herald
The AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine has been cleared for local use by the medical regulator, paving the way for Australians to receive a vaccine this year.
What is important is to get vaccines into peoples arms.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Australias relatively low case numbers allowed the TGA to go through a full approval process, instead of a faster emergency process as occurred in several other countries including the US, and rejected claims the approval process was slow.
This has been, I think, the most efficient and timely process that the TGA has ever undertaken for any vaccine. And theyve done it in a way which has cut no corner, he said.
