Sky News host Alan Jones says he has “never opposed vaccination” and – despite having seven blood clots on his lung – has received his first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine. “I got the best advice, from a variety of doctors at St Vincent’s hospital in Sydney and they said since I had several comorbidities, cancer and God knows what else, there is always a risk, but I should cop the risk,” he said. “I’ve had my first jab of AstraZeneca, and I will have my second. “Since I was a child I have been taught to take the vaccinations for everything, mumps, measles, the lot.”
