The Therapeutic Goods Administration has provisionally approved the use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine as a booster shot for people aged 18+. However, the TGA has stated that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are still preferred as a booster shot for all adults, regardless of the first two vaccine doses they had received. The TGA adds that people will need to consult their doctor before getting an AstraZeneca booster shot. Meanwhile, NSW recorded 10,312 new COVID-19 cases and 20 deaths on Wednesday; there were 9,908 new coronavirus cases and 21 deaths in Victoria, while Queensland reported 6,902 new cases and 24 deaths.
