Should Australia follow Europe and pause the AstraZeneca jab?

Nations across Europe have paused the rollout of the AstraZeneca Covid jab after a handful of recipients suffered blood clots.  Australia is heavily invested in the vaccine.

Catherine Bennett - Deakin University Chair of Epidemiology joins us to assure Australians the vaccine is safe.  She says people get blood clots everyday – and it’s not a game-changer in terms of the effectiveness of the vaccine.

So where to for Australia?  And is the pause in the rollout actually a strategy to keep supply for the European countries?
