Interesting way to get around the drug advertising laws. Public Health Announcement “sponsored” by Pfizer. I heard another one for X “sponsored” by Y (possibly X = Shingles Y = Merck but I might be wrong).

Edit: X = Shingles Y = Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK)

I just had a look at the law. These ads are sailing pretty close to the wind with respect to legality in my opinion, but I’m not a lawyer so I’m probably mistaken, big pharma would never break the law. Maybe a compliant to the TGA is in order. COVID-19 vaccines have an exemption, but couldn’t find one for antivirals or shingles.
