Current advice from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation dated July 24 states that anyone over the age of 18 should strongly consider getting vaccinated with any available vaccine including COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca.
"ATAGI reaffirms our previous advice that in a large outbreak, the benefits of the COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca are greater than the risk of rare side effects for all age groups," the statement read.
"People considering vaccination should be informed of the benefits and risks and give informed consent.
"People who receive COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca should be aware of the symptoms of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), and when to seek prompt medical attention. Early detection of TTS means that people can get treatment and this can improve their outcomes."
If you are eligible, please also come forward for vaccination as soon as possible. There are more than 100 NSW vaccination clinics and outreach locations across the state. Check your eligibility at https://covid-vaccine.healthdirect.gov.au/eligibility or speak to your GP to explore your options.
Booking times and vaccine availability may vary, please call your GP for further advice.
