âWe have incredibly low rates of infection in Australia, but without very high vaccine uptake rates, weâre never going to achieve any long-lasting protection, and weâll just keep doing the same thing over and over again.â
There are now growing calls for a cautious easing of border restrictions, with many of Australiaâs leading infectious diseases figures suggesting a new, risk-based quarantine system would allow select groups to safely avoid 14-day mandatory quarantine in a hotel.
Professor Sharon Lewin, the director of the Doherty Institute, suggested people who had been vaccinated or travelled from low-risk countries could safely quarantine at home with regular testing.

It could take years to fully vaccinate Australia against Covid-19 unless there is a significant increase in the vaccination rate, a Guardian Australia analysis shows.
The federal government’s rollout strategy aims to administer 45m vaccine doses, not including vaccines for those aged under 18. At the seven-day rolling average of under 36,000, it could take almost 40 months to accomplish. Even a doubling of that rate wouldn’t see the rollout completed until the end of next year.
Professor Mary-Louise McLaws, an epidemiologist at the University of New South Wales, said the vaccination rate needs to increase quickly due to the narrow window before a second dose is required.
