the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and the Australian Medical Association both supported NSW Health’s call for Sydney residents to advance their second dose of AstraZeneca to six weeks after the first dose.
Both RACGP and WADA have said the six-week window makes sense, as it will provide faster protection against the capture, spread and also potential death of Covid-19.
Dr. Charlotte Hespé, RACGP’s NSW chairman also said people who brought in their doses earlier would be the first to receive booster shots later, which would extend their immunity. Hespe told Guardian Australia:
We will definitely be looking to give boosters for those who get it early.
You will actually have an advantage to arrive early, as we will keep you on this list. “
She also said GPs would focus on rolling out vaccines in southwest Sydney.
WADA Vice-President Dr Chris Moysaid the six-week window was good advice given the situation in New South Wales.
“It’s a fair compromise,” he said.
