Good morning Professor. Thanks for your time.BRENDAN MURPHY: Good morning.STEPHEN QUARTERMAIN: Well, I'm sure there's a lot of Australians feeling a little uneasy about the AstraZeneca vaccine today.
What's your message to them?BRENDAN MURPHY: My message to them is that the AstraZeneca vaccine is a very, very good and effective vaccine.
I've had it, and I'm very confident in it. It's very powerful at protecting against COVID. It has extremely rare complication which seems to be more common in younger people.
