Scott Morrison set ambitious COVID-19 vaccine targets but his government is yet to achieve them
The Morrison government insisted it had a plan, that Australia would be at the front of the queue when the first COVID-19 vaccines were released and that by October, the entire population would be inoculated against the deadly virus.
Six weeks in and the rollout is behind schedule, the government has already missed its own targets and is now facing sustained criticism about a strategy it spent months devising.
The Prime Minister believes this criticism is unfair and the problem is purely one of supply. AstraZeneca signed a contract to provide 3.8 million doses of its vaccine to Australia, but so far has only delivered 700,000.
That is beyond the government’s control, he asserts.
