1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Happy Thursday, everybody, and welcome to the Daily Oz. My

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: name is Sam Kazlowski, joined today by the co founder

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Zara Seidler. Quickly starting off with some COVID numbers. In

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: New South Wales, yesterday there were three hundred and four

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: new cases of COVID, nineteen Victoria recorded fifteen hundred and

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: thirty four cases and in the Act there were ten cases. Zara,

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: we nearly at the two week mark of the New

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: South Wales I CAQ hearing what can we expect towards

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 1: the end of the week.

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: Today we're expecting to see Daryl Maguire and he'll face

11
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: the New South Wales I CACK. The corruption watchdog is

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: of course investigating if Gladisbury Jicklian breached public trust during

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: their secret relationship. Tomorrow Gladisbury Jicklian will be up for questioning.

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: Children as young as five could be eligible for a

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine by the end of November. The Therapeutic Goods

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: Administration Deputy Secretary Professor John Skerritt said it had received

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: preliminary data from PFIZAR this week. During a press conference

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: yesterday's Skerrett said, quote, we look at safety very thoroughly

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: for every age group, but we dig even deeper for children.

20
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: In our deep Dives day, we're going to have a

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: chat about everybody's booster shots and where that is up to.

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: The Queen will not be attending the Glasgow Climate Conference

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 2: next week, following medical advice that she needed to rest.

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: It comes after the ninety five year old did preliminary

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: medical checks in hospital last week and canceled a visit

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: to North Island.

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: And today's good news will excite a lot of you.

28
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Scott Morrison has confirmed the ban on fully

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: vaccinated Australians traveling overseas will be lifted from next Monday.

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Inbound international travel will also open up on the first

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: of November for fully vaccinated Australian citizens, permanent residents and

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: their immediate families.

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: Yesterday we found out that the TGA, which is the

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: Therapeutic Goods Administration, had approved fires up booster shots for

35
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: Australians aged eighteen and older. So, if you're not aware,

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: a booster shot is an additional COVID nine teen vaccination,

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: much like you get a booster shot for the flu

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: or tetanus. This is just an additional shot to complement

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: the efficacy of those COVID nineteen vaccines. We've seen boosters

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: being administered in Israel, in the US, and now it

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: is our turn. Here's what Greg Hunt said yesterday about

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: the booster shots.

43
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: It will mean that Australia will be one of the

44
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: most highly vaccinated societies in the world, one of the

45
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: most recently vaccinated communities in the world, and one of

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: the first to receive a whole of population booster program.

47
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: So in terms of how this will all work, the

48
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: rollout to the general population is set to start by

49
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: November eighth, but before then we need a TARGI which

50
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: is the immunization expert body, to advise the government that

51
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: they can go ahead without. So there's still one step

52
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: to go, even though the TGA has approved it. So

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: if my friend Sam has gotten two doses of the

54
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: astrozenica vaccine, are they then to receive this Fiser.

55
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: Booster Absolutely so, anybody who's received two doses of any

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: vaccine can get a third booster shot of Pfizer.

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 2: The only thing is that you'll have to wait six

58
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: months between your second dose and your booster shot, which

59
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: means that those who were part of the government's priority

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: rollout will be eligible earlier than the rest of the population,

61
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: and we've seen that in the prioritizing of the immuno

62
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: compromised and healthcare workers.

63
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: And the really basic scientific explanation as to why we

64
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: need a booster shot is to remind our body of

65
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: what they're fighting, and especially as new variants might come

66
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: into the country. We've spoken a lot about relaxed travel limits.

67
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: That means that there's going to be different variants coming in.

68
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: It's important that our bodies have the best protection possible

69
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: from the evolving virus.

70
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: So while we're at the beginning of this booster journey,

71
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: it seems like the US is a little bit ahead

72
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: what's happening over there.

73
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: So the Center for Disease Control, which is the US

74
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: version of the TGA, they've actually started to recognize and

75
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: authorize a fourth shot of COVID nineteen vaccines. The reason

76
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: that they're doing this is that those who received their

77
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: boosters almost six months ago are now starting to see

78
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: the effects of the booster whereof and they're saying for

79
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: people over eighteen who are severely immunocompromised, that a fourth

80
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: shot might be necessary. That doesn't necessarily mean that we're

81
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: all going to be getting a fourth shot. There's been

82
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: a lot of commentary and research around the fact that

83
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: a vast majority of the scientific community believe that three

84
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: shots should be enough for lengthy protection from the virus,

85
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: but will know a lot more in the coming months

86
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: as these governmental bodies are processing this data in real time.

87
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: In today's story, we spoke about the fact that you

88
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: will now be able to travel freely from Australia. Are

89
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: we expecting booster shots to be part of the equation

90
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: there that will need one in order to leave the country.

91
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: The Federal Health Minister was asked this yesterday and he

92
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: said that boosters would not be required by the federal

93
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: government for people to travel overseas without permission. However, that

94
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean that every state and territory will follow suit,

95
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: and we could hypothetically be in the situation where a

96
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: state or territory requires you to have three shots to

97
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: enter the state. It's important to note that whenever we

98
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: talk about fully vaccinated in the news, it still means

99
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: two doses. Two doses is still the equation of getting

100
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: into restaurants in New South Wales and Victoria and enjoying

101
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: the freedoms of a vaccinated person.

102
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: Now is about the time when a big contingent from

103
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: Australia will travel to Glasgow for the Glasgow Climate Conference.

104
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 2: There are a lot of journalists, climate experts and the

105
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: like traveling and we will be very interested to hear

106
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: what comes out of that conference. Until then, follow us

107
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: on Instagram for the day's news at the Daily OS.

108
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: It's where over a quarter of a million Australians get

109
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: their news every day and we would love to have

110
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: you join us over there. Have a great day,
