On Thursday, Australian regulators discovered more cases of rare blood clots linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine, but said they were not unexpected as the rollout expanded.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration said four cases were confirmed and the other two were deemed probable.
The new cases included a 57-year-old woman from Victoria, a 53-year-old South Australian man and an 18-year-old woman in Queensland.
The latest cases take the Australian total to 24 out of the 2.1 million doses of AstraZeneca administered in the country.
Across Victoria, almost 18,000 people were tested for the coronavirus on Thursday, and another 10,683 received vaccine doses.
The number of active COVID-19 cases dropped to 18.
