Calls to expand vaccine portfolio after Government fails to secure Moderna vaccine
25 January 2021 - Health experts are calling for Australia to expand its suite of COVID-19 vaccines amid concern the federal government has not signed a contract for supply of the high-efficacy Moderna vaccine.
Australians are likely to have access to three probable COVID-19 vaccines during the coming year. Five million Australians will be given the Pfizer vaccine, while the AstraZeneca vaccine looks set to be available for most of the population.
Later in the year, it’s expected that Australians will also have access to the Novavax protein-based vaccine.
