Australia’s October Vaccination Target ‘Tough Deadline to Meet’: Expert
The federal government’s goal to vaccinate most Australians against the CCP virus by October will be unachievable unless current rates are significantly increased.
Instead, an alternative goal to vaccinate more than 20 million Australians is more realistic by the end of the year, Australian Medical Association president Omar Khorshid said.
“I’ve been saying for a while that October is a pretty tough deadline to meet,” Khorshid told nine news on Monday.
Infectious disease expert Sanjaya Senanayake also believes the October deadline to be unachievable but would rather see the rollout perfected at the start, “so you start off slow and build things up.”
