PHARMACIES have begun administering the Covid-19 vaccine in the Northern Territory.
Overall, 15 of the Territory’s 41 pharmacies are offering to administer the jab.
At least until supplies of Pfizer improve, chemists will only be administering the AstraZeneca jab.
However Health Minister Natasha Fyles said on Tuesday the Moderna vaccine would also be offered in Territory pharmacies once shipments arrive from overseas.

The AstraZeneca vaccine, which is a viral vector vaccine, is also considered highly effective at beating the virus, however its use has been limited to those aged 60 and over in Australia.
