There has been a lot of mixed messaging and confusion about who should receive which COVID-19 vaccine in Australia, but now a third vaccine has been provisionally approved for use in everyone over the age of 18.

The Quicky speaks to a vaccine expert to find out how the Moderna jab compares to Pfizer and AstraZeneca, and everything we know so far about who will be offered it and when.
