Why should I bother getting AstraZeneca today?

Congratulations, you're eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccine! Since you're over 50, that means you're going to be offered AstraZeneca. But as many Australians are asking, why aren't you being given a choice? How worried should you be about these blood clots we keep hearing about? Are you being treated as a second-class citizen? And if there's no COVID-19 in Australia and the borders are still closed indefinitely, what's the rush anyway? Also on today's show: * Could a second dose of Pfizer rather than a second dose of AstraZeneca provide better protection against variants? * If it's possible for fully vaccinated people to still be infected with the virus, will they still get long COVID?
