Prime Minister Scott Morrison sent the chills through millions
of Australians this week when he declared that 'when' the
Covid-19 Vaccine arrives, it will be 'as 'mandatory as
possible'; although he
seems to have since backed down in the face of a public
backlash.
The Morrison Government says it has made a 'landmark
agreement' with drug giant AstraZeneca to manufacture one of
the world's most promising coronavirus vaccines currently being
developed. The project is a collaboration between the company and
Oxford University researchers.
If it's proved safe to use, the Prime Minister believes the
agreement will ensure Australia will be among the first countries
in the world to secure the jab, suggesting it could be available to
Aussies as soon as early next year.
