Australia's COVID-19 vaccine supply is still patchy. But will other vaccines help fill the void?

ABC  

Wind your mind back to early February. In a big announcement, Health Minister Greg Hunt said the government — which at the time was still three weeks away from conducting its first jab — had worked “quietly, behind the scenes” to secure an extra "10 million doses" of the Pfizer vaccine. "We now have access to over 150 million vaccine doses, ensuring we remain a world leader in the fight against the virus," Mr Hunt said at the time. "To date over 2.4 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been received by the Australian government," the spokesperson said. "The World Health Organization think it's a very good vaccine," Professor Cunningham said.
