Australian health authorities have restricted administering AstraZeneca's Covid vaccine to those under 60, citing the blood clots concerns as a 52-year-old woman died of blood clotting after receiving the jab. Health Minister Greg Hunt said the vaccine by Pfizer will be preferred for everyone under 60 years old. The country's health authorities had already restricted the AstraZeneca vaccine for those over 50 in April.
