The Australian National Cabinet decided to make the AstraZeneca vaccine available to citizens under 40, despite conflicting clinical advice. The Commonwealth government agreed to cover the legal costs for healthcare providers in the event of adverse effects from the vaccine. This policy shift encouraged individuals to consult their GPs even if they were not initially recommended for the shot.

The Telegraph reported on discussions among UK government ministers regarding the potential for COVID-19 transmission through flatulence, though the science remains non-definitive. Concurrently, local councils in the UK are reportedly requesting lists from general practitioners to identify and contact individuals who have not yet received a vaccination.
