The Federal Health Department has faced criticism after the ABC discovered that the government’s advice on Covid-19 was wrong in a number of languages on their website.

Culturally and linguistically diverse Australians were being given out-of-date information about vaccines.

Health professionals who checked the federal government’s website said these people were being told AstraZeneca was the preferred vaccine for over 50s, despite that advice being updated in June to reflect the risk posed by extremely rare blood clotting disorders.
