Australia’s vaccine rollout will now start next month. Here’s what we’ll need
Australia’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout will now begin in mid or late February. Vaccination will commence with workers dealing with international arrivals or quarantine facilities, frontline health workers and those living in aged care or with a disability.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the Government “optimistically” aims to vaccinate 80,000 Australians a week and 4 million by the end of March.
The first vaccine doses were initially planned for March, but the rollout has now been brought forward, pending the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s approval of the Pfizer vaccine, anticipated by the end of January. Morrison said it would take a further two weeks for the first shipments of vaccine to arrive after that.
