Details of Australian coronavirus vaccine rollout announced, including locations for first jabs

Around 240 aged care facilities in nearly 200 towns across the country will be some of the first places to have the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine rolled out, Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt says.

The rollout will begin next Monday, after the first batch of Pfizer doses arrived in Sydney earlier this week.

“It has to start somewhere and it has to finish somewhere, but this is the beginning of the process,” Mr Hunt said.

More to come.
