Health experts say Australians will be vaccinated sooner and coronavirus outbreaks controlled faster if vaccine data is made freely available. vaccines covid19 coronavirus

In Monday’s national cabinet meeting, states and territories were given an outline of how many vaccines to expect over the rest of the year.

Labor’s finance spokeswoman, Senator Katy Gallagher, said information on how many vaccine doses to expect was “critical to the government’s credibility on rolling out this vaccine”. “We need to identify the age groups where the vaccine update has been slow. We need to expose the weak spots in the rollout, and once we know that, we can dig down into the next level to know if we have reached everyone in a certain age group,” he said.

Low-cost healthcare services take a hit in Canberra as National Health Co-op goes underEight not-for-profit clinics are placed under voluntary administration, as the group's bosses blame the end of JobKeeper for the charity's failure.
