Health Minister launches vaccine inquiry

The inquiry will be led by former secretary for the Department of Health Jane Halton and will examine Australia's past and future vaccine procurement.

“It is entirely proper, I think, that we conduct an independent review of those arrangements to ensure that they are fit-for-purpose, both now, over the course of the rest of the year, and into 2023.” "There will be a time … for a proper inquiry into the country's response to this pandemic, whether that's a royal commission as was recommended by the Senate committee or some other very deep inquiry," he said.

The probe came as Mr Butler appealed for residents to receive a booster shot amid rising cases of highly transmissible subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 on Australia’s east coast.

Really these vaccines are nothing but poison and should be destroyed, just look at the statics and facts. How many more Australians need to suffer with server side effects and death.Stop making Pfizer rich they nothing more than criminals same as our State Learders.

There will be an excess of supply because we don't want the f----g things.

These blokes in a relay race while Elmer absent? Marles, Chalmers, Bowen then repeat.

Well the last government said the vaccine roll-out wasn't a race and also claimed we were first in the queue so a review may be necessary

Nobody wants your poison ☠️

Why not do one into the fact it doesn’t work! Ffs

FFS any update on opening beds? Any chance you might recall all the staff you let go to boost private recruitment profits? Any investigation to private hospitals’ treatment of our vets?Any idea where $700 per day for a palliative patient goes ? Or their $400k deposit?Mmmm

Waste of money just so they can try and blame the previous government for something.

Further BS! Why not spend tax payers money on reviewing global data, Pfizer data vaccine trial deaths and serious injuries... Israel most vaccinated population got sicker with each shot!! Stop harming the people...ignorance is not a defense!

get rid of mandates and throw away the rest

AUSTRALIA HAS more than an adequate supply of brainless political doctors and politicians. Apart from this...there are so many greenz with an agenda, the teeny boppers cannot conceive, could screw them.

Australia has just thrown out 30 million doses. What is this guy on?
