An international departure lounge at Melbourne Airport has been stripped of its furniture and transformed into a vaccination hub, heralding what is hoped will be the first step towards a return to “normal” life as Victoria’s first coronavirus vaccines are administered from Monday.
The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is expected to be trucked to Sunshine Hospital, Austin Hospital and other sites around Victoria on Sunday morning, packed in dry ice, in readiness for the first vaccinations to begin.

Content on pro-vaccination group Light For Rileyâs Immunisation Foundation of Australia page had been scrubbed by Facebook, and still appeared blank early on Thursday afternoon.
Pages for the Australian Liberty Alliance and Rebel News Australia â both of whom post content critical of Victoriaâs lockdown â appeared unaffected, despite describing themselves as ânews and media websitesâ.
