If Britain, America, Canada, Israel, Chile, Belgium, Argentina and many other countries are already rolling out vaccines for COVID-19, why is Australia sitting back and waiting (‘‘New entrant in vaccination race’’, January 1)? When are we going to see some proactive approaches implemented by our national cabinet and scrap leaving it all to individual state governments to deal with? It’s more than time that state governments either introduced vaccinations themselves or utilised the national cabinet to get the ball rolling. Other parts of the world will be vaccinated while Australia is still dithering. We want vaccines in Australia and we want them now.
