Episode description

The Morrison government promised the vast majority of Australians would be vaccinated against Covid-19 by the end of October.

It’s now been revised to the end of April 2020. Paul Cross runs three online trade magazines focusing on the pharmaceutical industry. He’s been watching developments closely and says the Commonwealth, while wanting to shine in the spotlight by rolling out the jab, has no experience in the space. The states traditionally dole out vaccines.

So where does the stand-off end? When will the average 30-year-old get their Covid jab?
