Australia approves Pfizer, Moderna COVID-19 vaccines for people aged over 60

Canberra, Sep 30 (UNI/Sputnik) Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines will be available to Australians aged 60 and over, regardless of where they live, Australian Heath Minister Greg Hunt announced on Thursday.
"From tomorrow, Australians aged 60 and over will be able to book both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines from GPs and pharmacies across the country. This provides even more options for Australians over 60 to be vaccinated," Hunt wrote on Twitter.
Previously, Australians aged 60 and over were vaccinated mainly with AstraZeneca, since Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were reserved for young people because of the risk of side effects in youth receiving the AstaZeneca shot.
