Australia has quietly dropped its approval of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine made by AstraZeneca.

The move came in the form of an update to the website of the Australian Department of Health and Aged Care (DHAC). According to the update, AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 injection “is no longer available as an approved vaccine” as of March 20, 2023.

A spokesperson for the DHAC said the phase-out of the vaccine was due to the availability of new options: “This was not a decision based on safety as some people have misrepresented on social media. As expected, first-generation vaccines have been superseded by newer vaccines targeting the strains of the virus now circulating.”
