Scott Morrison refuses to put a date on when all Australians will receive Covid-19 vaccine

Daily Mail  

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has refused to set a date for when every Australian will receive their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine after blood clot fears over the AstraZeneca jab threw the nation's vaccination program into chaos. The Federal Government initially set an October deadline to inoculate all people in Australia but Mr Morrison said they were no longer in a position to say when the vaccine program will be completed. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the government will no longer be setting a target date for Australia's Covid-19 vaccination rollout The government had initially been aiming to have every Australian inoculated by the end of October 'We will just get on with the job of working together to produce, distribute and administer the vaccines as safely and efficiently as possible,' Mr Morrison said. The Federal Government was forced to change its Covid-19 vaccine timetable after concerns over the AstraZeneca jab through the rollout into doubt 'It is critical for Australia's future that public confidence in the vaccine program is maintained,' Australian Medical Association president Omar Khorshid said.
