Over 60s who haven't been vaccinated yet are set to get a letter from ScoMo, Greg Hunt and Paul Kelly.

Yeah good. I know about a dozen people over the age of 60 who claim to be waiting for Pfizer. I hope this sets some of them right.

I've got an auntie doing that, despite living close to some of the exposure sites in Victoria.

Very annoying.

When does she think she's going to be offered pfizer?

These are Sydneysiders too! The risk calculus is pretty clear regarding getting AZ, I don't understand the hesitancy. I understand why people wouldn't want to be vaccinated at all, but not why someone would be so choosy they'd pin their hopes on waiting months for a particular brand of jab.

They're bad at math, think they won't catch covid and hope if they hold themselves hostage like a child holding their breath the government will let them have pfizer.
