I agree with Dr Moy. We want to ensure that the information that is provided to Australians with respect to vaccines is factual. We as a government, and particularly as ministers in the government, continue to look at the data. The Therapeutic Goods Administration continue to assess the data on vaccines globally so they can make sure the appropriate decisions are made, and so do ATAGI. They continue to look at the data and the information on vaccines so they can provide the appropriate advice to Australians with respect to vaccination.

I would urge all Australians not to look at what's on Facebook, not to look at what's on those sorts of sites, but to look at the ATAGI site, look at the TGA site and look at the Department of Health site if they want to get high-quality information about the efficacy of vaccines and the fact that they work in the interests of keeping Australians safe during COVID-19.
