The question was asked here, the federal authorities rejected using the same protocols because flu vaccines are one shot and shipped in ready to go syringes, whereas the SARS-Cov2 vaccines are two shot and shipped in multi-shot vials.
But somewhat incongruously they expect the same GPs and Pharmacists to inject the AZ vaccine into most peoples arms under a 60+ prerequisite protocol that could require extra staff, extra technology, and larger premises Ψ³
The local flu vaccine manufacturer is also manufacturing the AZ vaccine. One wonders if it could have been shipped in single shot syringes which would have also obviated the need for hard to get low dead space syringes.
