		</div><p>Australia has raised the age from which the AstraZeneca vaccine is recommended from 50 to 60 after the jab was blamed for a 52-year-old woman’s death last week from blood clots in the brain.</p>
<p>Health Minister Greg Hunt described the decision on Thursday as conservative and reflecting the relatively low risk of catching the virus in Australia.</p>
<p>Australians aged between 50 and 59 are now recommended to use the Pfizer jab – the only other vaccine approved in Australia.</p>
<p>Only two deaths in Australia have been blamed on rare blood clots believed caused by AstraZeneca. The first was a 48-year-old woman who died in April.</p>
<p>That death led to AstraZeneca being recommended only to adults aged over 50.</p>
<p>People who have had their first AstraZeneca jab without developing clots have been told it is safe to have the second dose three months later.</p>

<p>The government hopes to have the Moderna vaccine approved for use in Australia soon and to keep to its timetable of having a vaccine available to every adult who wants one by the end of the year.</p>
