Morning Nigel! Basically, yes. Now that Queensland has hit 80 per cent first-dose vaccinations, the government's mask mandate is over. You're advised to still wear masks in places where you can't social distance, and they're mandatory in airports and on planes, but it means you can go to the supermarket, cafe or gym and not worry about wearing one.<\/p>\n

Good morning, Chris! Well, the US and Israel are now jumping on board that particular train, so barring any surprising results, it's likely a matter of time. Pfizer has submitted a partial application to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), whichwill review all the information and make a decision about whether to approve the vaccine for use in this age group.<\/p>\n
Barring any issues, TGA head John Skerritt expects a decision will be made by the end of November, and ATAGIwill then advise the government on the timing of the rollout.<\/p>\n
