'I'm sorry': Scott Morrison's apology over slow vaccination rollout amid COVID-19 lockdowns

"I'm sorry that we haven't been able to achieve the marks that we had hoped for at the beginning of this year. Of course I am," he said. "Now, as I said yesterday, I take responsibility for the vaccination program. I also take responsibility for the challenges we've had," he said. "I think I have been very clear that as Prime Minister I am responsible for the vaccination program and I also have been very clear that that responsibility means fixing and dealing with the problems that we've had and that is what we have been doing and the vaccination program has turned the corner," he said.

Mr Morrison said 76,595 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine had been administered to people under the age of 40 since he said people in that age group should talk to their GP about getting that particular jab.
