Will it really take until 2023 to get all of Australia vaccinated against coronavirus?

After delayed shipments, booking bungles and safety concerns, the federal government last month announced its “recalibrated” vaccine roll-out strategy.

On 17 May, the vaccination program under Phase 2b will be expanded to GP surgeries. Up to 15.8 million doses are available for that part of the rollout, which includes catching up on any unvaccinated Australians from previous phases.Mr Morrison said the change would help get the rollout back on track, with Australia “steadily moving up the board” when compared to other nation’s rollouts - but he has opted not to set new targets.

Because both Pfizer and Astra-Zeneca - the two vaccines currently approved for use in Australia - require two doses to become effective, that’s about 40 million jabs. “[The delay] doesn’t surprise me at all, because it takes an enormous amount of experience to run a mass vaccination program - and it’s been a very long time since we had kids lining the streets for polio injections.”The Morrison government has scrapped the original vaccination targets.In order to move towards a goal of 100,000 injections per day, Professor McLaws would like to see mass vaccination hubs occupying stadiums and ovals.

Australia also doesn’t have access to the same amount of vaccines that the United States and the United Kingdom do, allowing them to complete their vaccinations more quickly.

THE LIAR FROM THE SHIRE. SCOTTY FROM MARKETING LIED TO AUSTRALIA.

What a joke why so much long it's a disgrace!

Probably longer. Qld Vax stations are empty.

SBS Wow, if it takes till 2023 to get Australia vaccinated then the rest of the world must be fucked

Hollow man fails yet again. Bring on the election.

Who is crazy enough to have this SHIT injected into them?

Interesting

Biden has more people and hopes to jab three quarters of the population by July the 4th. Scott has much less, and is struggling to get through each month. Is he still trying to print the Liberals logo on them first

Be longer than that. The study’s don’t end until 2023.

Yes it may take that long - get over the emotion of that

With such a small population compared to other countries it should take us only to the end of 2021...but incompetence has made everyone complacent and tired

Not if we get rid of useless Scott Morrison. If we don’t get rid of him, we don’t deserve anything good.

I'm supposed to be in the first wave; so far I haven't even got my toes wet.

That’s our Sco Mo you’ve done it again🤡

We should implement the 4DX Medical imaging system.

The way passion fingers Morrison is going it will be 2030. Has the government even placed an order. Yes they make announcements but has their actually been conformation that the order is accepted? Morrison tells a lot of lies, breaks promise after promise. I don't believe him.

25.8m people... how difficult can it be (scaremongers apart) !!

Ahhhh...clickbait. How I’ve missed you.

I think so. But can’t blame the govt as some like me just want to wait for improved vaccines

Brain drain undergoing 'big reversal' in SA as net migration hits 30-year highWhile some, including an interstate Premier, have questioned South Australia's desirability as a destination in recent years, the SA government says the state's coronavirus response has helped reverse a decades-long problem. The reason to go to south Australia is now becoming the reason I don’t wanna go. I like the fact that it’s population is not that big and the fact the people have time for each other and one has space to think. It is clean and the wines is fabulous and everything is within reach. I moved back to Adelaide in December 2020 after living in Melbourne. Adelaide's response to Covid had nothing to with it for me or my partner. Covid has allowed many people to work remotely, and I know a lot of people who took advantage of that to be closer to family ties here.
