however, the head of the european medicines agency has said, even if they're not effective, there will be new vaccines developed soon. we could be in a position that were either a need to change the existing vaccines. we could be in a position to have those approved within 3 to 4 months. us from the start of the, of the time when they would store to, to, to change. and that's work that the companies will do. this version of the covey 19 variant has considerable uncertainties attached to it. it may be able to evade the body's immune system. now in light of that many countries are bringing in new restrictions and are pushing again for those who are unvaccinated, to go and get a job. for example, in greece, they have just now stated that from next month in january, though sure, age 60 or over and refused to be vaccinated, will now have a fine of a 100 years at every month. they refused to get the job. meanwhile, austria is pushing ahead how i will. it's plans to meet the vaccination mandatory for every one. and they're saying that there will be a 3 strike system there on that 3rd strike.

every country has its own regulator or they may have a great regulator like in europe, it's european medicines agency. so for that seem to be accepted in those different countries, different regions it using needs to be accepted by the regulator. now we at w, h o do something called emergency listing, and we require again, documentation, all proof of safety, proof of advocacy, and also the manufacturing process. some quite often it's that 3rd one, the manufacturing process. it takes not a long time to get the details to have done the inspections and so on for that to happen. and that has to happen with every regulation. so that, that can be hold up in the parent has been a year margaret. it's been a long time spent in vegas. he's nothing new. should it be done by that? so that process is certainly ongoing with there's been back and forth and documentation is, is there a way certainly hoping that the doctor will be finalized very soon. margarine, appreciate the time is a pleasure to speak to my guest, margaret her, a spokesperson for the director. europe's soaring energy costs aren't just sitting home

in fact, the european medicines agency has just recommended johnson and johnson as a booster for people who've had one of the m r in a vaccine. so it's definitely a thing at the moment. does any of the advice coming from europe resonate closer to home where you are in australia because it's still a great deal of vaccine hesitancy in one wonders? why? yes, i think a lot of it started by started off with the fact that these vaccines have been produced and rolled out in a manner more quickly done than ever before. the quickest vaccine that went from start to finish prior to code 19 was month. it took 4 years, so there was always some suspicion them with the astrazeneca johnson and johnson, the clothing issue, where the risk of death is really one from between one in a 1000000 to one in 2000000. and the risk of getting clots from koby competitive compared to these vaccines is 200 times higher. it just hasn't been conveyed quickly and properly enough. and of course, we've got the choice of these other m r n a vaccines, which don't seem to have that same risk of clotting even though that risk

however, the head of european medicines agency has said, even if they're not effective, they will be new vaccines developed soon. and they'll be in a pharmacy near you in the very near future. we could be in a position, but we're either a need to change the existing vaccines. we could be in a position to have those approved within a 3 to 4 months. us from the start of the, of the time when they would store to, to, to change. and that's work that the companies will do. they, they will have to look at adapting their formulations to include the new sequencing. ah, and they will then have to show that the production system works. they will then have to do some clinical or some, some clinical trial am to determine. but this actually works in practice. now on the evidence presented so far, the world health organization feels that omnicom prose is a considerable risk. it says that it has to consider is consider all of the parameters in. it says that this version of the kobe 19 variant has considerable uncertainties attached to it. it may be able to evade the body's immune system. now, in li
