The number of people that need to be vaccinated for Australia to secure herd immunity remains up in the air, Scott Morrison says.
The Prime Minister on Thursday revealed the nationâs top medical experts were investigating overseas figures because there was still âno hard and fast ruleâ.
âWhat we have been seeing is that many populations levelling out at about the 60 per cent mark, but medical opinion differs on those issues,â Mr Morrison said in Melbourne.
âIt isnât just a population-wide measure, youâve got to look, particularly when youâve had a vaccination program, about your most vulnerable populations.â
