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.

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.
