Calls ramp up for $10m vaccine lottery to fix slow rolloutCalls for a lottery to encourage Australians to get vaccinated against COVID-19 are ramping up in an attempt to help fix the country&x27;s slow rollout. They are desperate to give people this vaccine aren’t they… don’t it all seem strange? Even giving away money!!! Just another bullet in the head of humanity.. what a joke! Do we really have a demand issue? Won't this just backfire and cause some people to postpone vaccination only to potentially win a prize? Instead, significantly increase the Medicare health levy for those that do not vaccinate once there is ample Pfizer supply.

COVID-19 VACCINE: More than 16pc of over 16s fully vaccinatedMore than five months since the beginning of the vaccine rollout all Commonwealth aged care facilities have received both doses of the COVID-19 jab. So much winning. Australia now only just 18th in the world... a little bit behind Mexico. So glad it's not a race. 'Over a year and a half into the global pandemic, more than 16 per cent of the over 16 population are fully vaccinated!' Hi social media kid. It must be bloody embarrassing to type this crap out. Do you have no self-worth?

Australian visas for pharmacists to be fast-tracked to support troubled vaccine rolloutThe decision comes as thousands of pharmacies across Australia are invited to help accelerate the nation’s vaccine rollout. Couldn't they just use nurses at the pharmacies? Nurses have been giving vaccinations since forever Plenty of nurses capable of giving vaccines in pharmacies. They just need to be asked. We are a wasted resource. auspol Would help if we had vaccines for them to give out first though🤷‍♂️. Cart before the horse always it seems with the government.

Australia’s Pacific Island vaccination campaign kicks into gearMinister for International Development and the Pacific, Zed Seselja, says the vaccine rollout to island nations has had “significant uptake” as COVID-19 continues to impact the region. I wish i had the foresight to invest in one of these pharmaceuticals back in 2019. That along with toilet paper manufacturers.......I'd be laughing by now. This is interesting! Love it. Nobody in Oz wants the Astra so ship it off to the islanders, they wont know the difference...
