When using the intradermal route (e.g. for influenza), local reactions are mainly erythema (7 % of all vaccinations) and swelling (15–30 %) [27,28]. Vaccines applied intranasally result in a significantly higher rate of local symptoms, as shown for the influenza vaccine. A runny nose w...

Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith says the ACT Government was also looking at other sites as part of planning for future phases of the vaccine rollout, including the nurse-led Walk-in Centres. But she said not all Walk-in Centres would be used as vaccination clinics due to other health...
an important problem in the context of a pandemic. Furthermore, the same or similar alterations can change the shape of the S-protein and impair or even destroy NAb binding sites. Hence, by extrapolation
