The nation has taken a big leap forward on its path out of the pandemic, with all Australians over 50 now eligible for the AstraZeneca vaccine.The state is still three weeks away from mass vaccinations as Victoria rolls out super clinics, inoculating thousands of people on Friday.People attend the mass vaccination hub at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne, Australia.
Sydney's numbers pale in comparison to the supercharged rollout in Melbourne, where the doors of six mass vaccination clinics were thrown open to anyone over 50.Chair of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Jane Halton said vaccination was the only way out of the coronavirus pandemic, imploring those eligible to get the jab."Certainly the people I know over the age of 50 are trying to figure out when they can get vaccinated, so hopefully they go and line up.
Australia has given out two million vaccines and has missed all its planned targets, with the Prime Minister refusing to set any more.The nation had planned to have four million vaccinated by the end of March, but only managed one million.
