Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on Friday the end of the drug, which was developed at the University of Queensland. Australia had planned to vaccinate its own population with millions of doses of this vaccine. Instead, the government increased its orders from other manufacturers.
The government fears that confidence in the drug will be affected
The Australian vaccine was still in the first phase of clinical trials. According to Health Minister Greg Hunt, a protein was used, which caused false positives in HIV tests. This was found during clinical examinations.
According to clinical tests, the corona efficacy of the vaccine is actually very high. However, the government fears that the problem of HIV testing could affect confidence in the drug. “It probably would have worked very well, but we can’t afford any problems with confidence,” the Health Ministry said.
