Amongst all the AZ and Pfizer drama, highly recommend reading this piece or heading to Allen Cheng’s Twitter feed

Why we decided to put the Pfizer vaccine ahead of AstraZeneca for under-50s This is an edited version of the Twitter feed of Professor Allen Cheng, a member of the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation, explaining the AstraZeneca decision.
