MSM using “several” in their headlines, but everyone could get jabbed again!
1 Nov: Brisbane Times Australia: Several people given ultra-low dose of vaccine at Qld pop-up clinic
by Cloe Read
Several people were given an ultra-low dose of a COVID-19 vaccine after an error at a pop-up clinic south of Brisbane where 175 jabs were administered.
On Monday, Queensland Health said it contacted 175 people who received the Pfizer vaccine at the Flagstone Community College on Saturday, October 23.
Of the people, 148 were receiving their first dose and 27 were receiving their second dose.
Six people received a low dose because of a vaccine preparation error.
“The Pfizer vaccine requires a process of preparation, where saline is added to the vaccine vial and withdrawn to make up to six doses,” Queensland Health said in a statement.
“An initial review indicated one vial was used twice, meaning the doses drawn on the second use were over-diluted.
“Unfortunately there is no ability to trace which six of the 175 people through the vaccination pop-up clinic were given the ultra-low dose, and we will contact all those impacted to discuss revaccination, if required.”...

2 Nov: ABC Australia: Families will be forced to isolate for 14 days at home if just one member gets COVID-19 in Queensland
By Lexy Hamilton-Smith
With Queensland slowly edging towards its vaccination targets, those who have had two doses will still have to quarantine for two weeks if they get COVID-19.
As will their family, which means partners and their children, or flatmates or grandparents, if they live in the same home and are deemed at risk.
But what about “close contacts” — like a teacher or a doctor who comes into contact with someone who gets the dangerous Delta variant?...
Queensland Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said “opening up” will only work if the state continues to test, trace, isolate and quarantine.
“So we expect certainly at the 70 per cent and 80 per cent [of Queenslanders over 16 that have had two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine] … will still be quarantining for 14 days, based on advice from the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee until that advice changes.
“If the advice is you can then quarantine for a shorter period of time, or you do not need to put as many people into quarantine if they are close contacts, then we will take that advice.”...
“People who are fully vaccinated may still be able to go to work if they are a close contact,” she said...
New territory with boosters on the way
(University of Queensland virologist Kirsty Short) said the advice was changing every day in terms of the data.
“You look at the situation of boosters for every member of the population and that is going to change how the vaccine works and the efficacy of it,” she said.
“It increases the efficacy of the vaccine against severe disease but it also increases your protection against getting the illness.
“But what we do not know is how long that lasts.”...
She said as January approached, more people would be up for the booster shot...
