Have you been able to get vaccinated where you are? The good news is the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines still give us 90% protection against the current variants including the Delta variant. Everybody is tired of the pandemic but don't drop your guard now. I see though that Australia doesn't have that great a vaccination rate so far, if that's where you are.
It def ain't Summer here kml...brrrrr.
We've struggled with vax rates for a couple of reasons. Firstly, we approved AstraZeneca, which has since shown to have to some risks around blood clots, it's developed quite the reputational problem here. Up unitl yesterday the advice was that only over 60s should have AZ.
That only leaves us with Pfizer and given that we don't manufacture it here and are relying on limited availability we only have approx. 4% fully vaccinated.
We've got a bit of a second wave outbreak going on here which probs wouldn't have happened if we were better vaccinated. However, pretty grateful that we've had less than 1,000 deaths here, even if it does mean we're behind the ROW for 6-12 months.
