What happens if you get the wrong dose?

An 88-year-old man and a 94-year-old woman in Queensland were given the incorrect doses of the Pfizer vaccine on Tuesday.

It’s still under investigation how much extra they were given, and the doctor who administered the drug has been stood down from the vaccine program.

It was revealed yesterday that the doctor had not completed the required vaccination training.

So on today’s Coronacast what happens if you receive too much of the Pfizer vaccine, and how did the health system react to the mistake?

Also:

* We’re also joined by Professor John Skerritt, who heads up the Therapeutic Goods Administration which has approved the use of the Pfizer and Astra vaccine for use in Australia.

So what’s he got to say about the timelines for reopening Australia to the rest of the world?

And what are his thoughts on the efficacy of the Astra vaccine especially in regards to the so-called South African variant?
