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.

Will Australia help…
