If you’re one of more than 6 million Australians, it’s now your turn to get the coronavirus vaccine
More than 6 million Australians will become eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine from today, as 1,000 GP clinics start vaccinations for certain priority groups.
Key points:
- Phase 1B of the rollout begins today
- TGA has approved domestic production of the AstraZeneca vaccine
- First doses from the CSL facility in Melbourne will be released within days
Phase 1B includes those aged over 70, critical workers like police and people with some underlying medical conditions.
The federal government has faced criticism for ongoing delays with the vaccine rollout on the back of international supply challenges.
But late on Sunday, the national medical regulator approved domestic production of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
