More questions from the crowd...
Hi Guys.
Can you please confirm when the second dose of AZ is due after having the first dose.-Just Checking.
The recommendation is 12 weeks between doses for the AstraZeneca vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine is three weeks.
Hi, thanks for the blog. If we are starting on phase1b, does this mean phase 1a is finished? My 90-year old Mum in Residential Aged Care (Vic) is still waiting for the first dose of a vaccine. Hope they haven’t forgotten her 😧-Phase 1A
The rollout of 1a doesn't stop when 1b begins. Here's a chart that shows what I mean:
The 1b group are responsible for organising their own vaccination so they can book now.
But the federal government is much more involved in the delivery to the 1a group, which involves distributing the shot to facilities like aged care homes. From what we understand, some of the people in the 1a group can't take action to get vaccinated because they're dependent on the government to deliver and administer those vaccines in those facilities.
Hi, my Mum is eligible for a phase 1B jab, but has been put off going to a Commonwealth clinic by a friend who told her she will need to bring along a printout of her medical history, signed by her doctor. Surely that’s not right?-Asking for Mum
Ok, so this depends on why your mum is eligible for the Phase 1b jab.
The federal government website advises that, if you're only eligible because you've got a "specified medical condition" you'll need to:
...provide proof of these conditions to demonstrate their eligibility for vaccination via My health record, a health professional referral if required or a declaration form.
And if you're only eligible because you're in the category of "critical and high risk workers including defence, police, fire, emergency services and meat processing", you'll need to provide proof for occupation to demonstrate your eligibility.
Here's what the federal government advises people to bring along with them to their appointment:
- photo ID, if you have one
- Medicare card, if you have one
- employee ID, if you are getting a COVID-19 vaccine because of your occupation.
- information about any of your medical conditions, allergies, bleeding disorders or immunocompromise (i.e. weakened immune system)
- information about any medications you are taking
- information about any previous COVID-19 vaccine received (vaccine brand and date of vaccination)
- information about any reactions you have had to any vaccine in the past
- the name of your current GP/s and any specialist doctors you see
- a face mask (if required by your state/territory)
But yesterday deputy Chief Medical Officer Michael Kidd said people who don't have Medicare card could get the jab.
"People who don't have a Medicare card are able to get their vaccines either through the state and territory hubs, which have already been established, or through one of the Commonwealth GP-led respiratory clinics," he said.
