Australia’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout has been boosted with more Pfizer jabs. We’ve got five quick takeaways from the PM’s press conference

Australia’s plan to vaccinate the entire population by October has been boosted with another 10 million doses of the Pfizer immunisation, taking the national total to 150 million doses of various COVID-19 jabs.
Health Minister Greg Hunt says the rollout is “the next critical step in protecting Australians.”
Here’s what we know about the plan from Thursday’s press conference.
Will all Australian residents be offered a jab?

Will Australia help…
