Why vaccinated people shouldn't have more freedoms (quite yet‪)‬ What's That Rash?

    • Medicine

Fully vaccinated people in NSW are counting down the days until they can get some additional freedoms when the state reaches the 70 per cent vaccination rate.

But some experts are warning that releasing the brake too quickly might see case numbers and then hospitalisations shoot up again

So why could cases once again rise when 70 per cent of the eligible population is fully vaccinated?

That's on today's Coronacast.

Also on today's show:

* Dr Swan said he would not go back to the gym at 70 per cent vaccination rates. Why not? As a fully vaccinated person isn't it safe?

* Cases dropping in NSW? ACT goes another month for lockdowns and Victoria still struggling

* Western Australians over 60 can get Pfizer jab now. Should we redirect the vaccine to NSW and/or Victoria?
