Hello and welcome to today's Top Three. I am Michael Kidd, Deputy Chief Medical Officer with the Australian Government Department of Health, and I am joined by Linda. My shout out today is to everybody who's involved in the testing for COVID-19. Thank you to all the people who are out there testing people for COVID-19 in our clinics and our testing stations right across the country. And thank you to everybody working in our pathology laboratories, processing those tests in record numbers and getting the results swiftly back to you so that you know whether or not you have tested positive for COVID-19. The response to the pandemic is enormous, it involves many many people, so thank you to everybody involved in our testing process, and thank you to all of you who are getting tested when you are instructed to or when you have symptoms.

Our first question today is: why is AstraZeneca changing its name to Vaxzevria?
