Australia will enlist the help of more than 1000 GP clinics in its bid to keep its vaccine rollout on schedule.
Local doctors will be brought in for phase 1b of the rollout, which targets older people and those with certain underlying conditions, from March 22.
Health Minister Greg Hunt said the change would "ensure an efficient and equitable distribution of vaccines across the country".
