Multi-million Moderna-Australia vaccine deal pending TGA approval13/05/2021|9min
Minister for Senior Australians Richard Colbeck has touted an agreement between Australia and Moderna which recently secured 25 million doses of the pharmaceutical company s coronavirus vaccine.
It comes as Prime Minister Scott Morrison walked back a budget forecast for Australia’s vaccine rollout to be largely completed by the end of the year.
Mr Colbeck told Sky News the deal meant “more good news in the context of vaccine supply” for the nation but pointed out the purchase of the vaccine still required TGA approval.
“My understanding is that some of the doses will become available later this year so that again is good news but of course it still does have to go through the TGA approval process,” he said.
