Herd immunity is the end game for the pandemic, but the AstraZeneca vaccine won’t get us there – The Conversation AU
Australia should pivot to a high-efficacy vaccine like Pfizer or Novavax to give us the best chance of achieving herd immunity.

Novavax announced spectacular results for its phase 3 trial, while preliminary data suggest the AstraZeneca vaccine is ineffective against the South African variant.
These two vaccines comprise the bulk of Australias vaccine portfolio, and the results should prompt an urgent rethink of our vaccination strategy.
Australia wont reach herd immunity with the current plan.
