A late-February rollout for the Pfizer vaccine in Australia has been forecast by Prime Minister ScottMorrisonMP who announced domestic production of a vaccine is already underway in Melbourne.

A late-February rollout for the Pfizer vaccine in Australia has been forecast by Prime Minister Scott Morrison who announced domestic production of a vaccine is already underway in Melbourne. “We didn't want to be in a situation where we were completely reliant on the production of vaccines overseas,” Mr Morrison said.

“We took the decision, we put the arrangements in place with CSL and AstraZeneca to ensure we would be able to produce our own vaccine here in Australia and that is happening now.” The prime minister acknowledged the federal government had “paid a premium” for the convenience for domestic production but said it was “the right decision for Australia”.
