Since COVID-19 first upended our lives in early 2020, a vaccine has been considered our ticket back to 'normal life'.

 

In January, we took one step closer to that goal, with the national medicines regulator approving the first COVID-19 vaccine (from Pfizer) for use in Australia.

 

While most of us are eager to get immunised, many people still have questions about the safety of the incoming vaccines.

 

With the help of vaccine experts, we've answered five of the most common questions identified by the ABC and Google Trends.

 

Are COVID-19 vaccines safe?

 

In order for a vaccine to get approved for use in Australia, it needs to go through a series of rigorous safety checks.

Vladimir Putin wants to reclaim Russia’s former glory, and he expects the support of Russians across the globe, wherever they may live.

Here is the portrait of Lord Tonio Abbattoir (aka Tony Abbott), painted by the famous portrait artist and occasional cartoonist, Sir Gus de Leon-y-après-ski.

 

Sir Gus de Leon-y-après-ski's influence has been enormous — revolutionising contemporary portrait painting with the inclusion of shitty props. Not only did the three-quarter pose become the standard, but Sir Gus de Leon-y-après-ski’s preliminary drawings encouraged other artists to make freer studies for their paintings and stimulated connoisseurs to collect those drawings. All these Sydney-esque works have so far been rejected by contemporary, classical, underground, Chinese and modern galleries alike…
