Title Australia's vaccine rollout hit a hurdle overnight. Here's what we know Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Mamamia Media type Web Country/Territory Australia Date 9/04/22 Description On Thursday evening, Prime Minister Scott Morrison gave a snap press conference in which his Government announced a significant change to Australia's COVID-19 vaccine rollout plan.

The change comes in the wake of a small number of global reports of blood clotting among recipients of the AstraZeneca vaccine — which is currently the only other COVID-19 jab approved for use in Australia.
