This article states we should go back to the future with quarantine and vaccines. In 1994, the Federal governments 78 year old vaccine manufacturer Commonwealth Serum Laboratories, was sold for $ 292.4 million. It is now worth $ 122 Billion. There are a number of things the private sector does very well, but up to the 80's and 90's, it was recognised that quarantine and vaccination of a population are not one of them. PM Billy Hughes knew in 1916 that Australia needed the capacity, and set up CSL as a government owned manufacturer, the first vaccine was used against the Spanish flu. Now the government has to work out a business plan and gov. subsidy to try to persuade privately owned CSL to make the latest vaccine, which no doubt will cost a heap. 
  The chances of more , and worse Pandemics in the future, are a given. Serious thought must be given for the public sector to take back vaccination of the population, as a priority.
Quarantine, vaccines policies of the past served Australia better (thenewdaily.com.au)
