COVID 19 vaccine.: The vaccine under development by University of Queensland & CSL International was very promising. However when false positive HIV tests were found in volunteers who took the vaccine, the Australian government cancelled it's 51 million dose order. This has not been an issue with the AstraZeneca COVID 19 vaccine. REF: https://www.livescience.com/australia-covid-19-vaccine-false-positive-hiv-tests.
