COVID live updates: Vaccination for frontline doctors needs to be ramped up, AMA says after new Queensland case

The new Italian government says it aims to have 80 per cent of the population vaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of September. Premier Mario Draghi’s office announced more goals of the national vaccination program, which only recently has started picking up its pace after delays in vaccine deliveries and other logistics slowdowns.
