Boosters are no fucking good while most can’t get a first dose of Pfizer..

we are where we are - AZ is a damaged brand; it will be Pfizer or bust

The annual mRNA Covid vaccs Booster - we’d betterment used to it and they’d better be buying them. Better still, get that promised mRNA production going here ASAP.

Not much point in having a booster if you haven't got your first doses!

Yay!!! We can get our 12-month booster shots in….. 24 months.

It's marketing 101, the govt trying to deflect & appease the natives. It's about the optics, it's a number that's not relevant. It will not stop the lockdown's we currently have in NSW, VIC & SA because we aren't vaccinated, it's about the now. COVID19nsw COVID19Aus

Oh look another announcement by ScottyFromMarketing

Like an Olympic marathon runner who took the wrong turn at the first crossroad & ended up finishing 3 days late ..... 'Too little too late' can be Morrison's new slogan. 😡

There's only 25 million of us x 2 jabs?

Yea Yea heard it all before ! Got proof there buddy or are we just repeating a government press release

Australia is approximately 6 months behind most of the world with vaccines. Vaccines are definitely not a quick fix. Lockdown or 'let rip' are the only 2 options whilst vaccines are being rolled out. A very hard lockdown will only work with public backing.

If he said it i will wait and see he is a proven liar

So ATAGI is a political group. Who knew? Such a pity they bent to media pressure on AZ and didn’t read the literature on aerating the jab to prevent mistaken injection into a blood vessel.

Given the Fed Govt's track record, may I suggest using the terms 'ordered', 'dispatched', 'delivered' - and reserve 'secured' for when the doses have landed in Australia?
