Millions of Pfizer booster shots locked in as government plans to continue vaccinations into 2023 - ABC News

Boosters .... in 2022 and 2023.

Scott Morrison said that the 85 million boosters were:

".... a significant shot in the arm for Australia's vaccine supply. "

There's no reason to believe that he deliberately made a pun.

I never thought the 40 million Phizer dose would be it. We have such close ties with the US and I can imagine the pressure being brought to bear in diplomatic circles and by the US Govt towards Phizer. The sky is falling in cries in this thread always seemed misplaced and political.

Cheers

Vaxes typically are only effective for about six months, so boosters are needed.

I don’t open anything my MAC system doesn’t like.

IME antivirus programs don’t work. When I had an IBM years ago a major antivirus program was infiltrated by a Trojan Horse virus which then pretended antivirus was still working. Within 6 months my computer wouldn’t even boot up. No fix. Had to just throw it out.

so we’ve been advised, but we’ve been advised we were at the front of the queue before. Let’s remember this day and see if 85 million actually arrive.

…where are they coming from? Until mRNA vaccines are made in Australia there’s no vaccine certainty.

We tried that but the Vax we are allowed to make is not preferred now... so unless we make our own version (quite possible) or unless Phizer or another mob change their mind and allow us to manufacture a version here we have to rely on imports. Simple as that unfortunately. Cheers
