Australia PM calls on EU to release Covid vaccine Thursday, April 8, 2021 IWK Bureau
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Wednesday called on the European Union (EU) to release doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.
Morrison said that delays to Australia s vaccine rollout were a matter of straightforward maths with AstraZeneca blocked from exporting more than 3 million doses, reports Xinhua news agency. It s straightforward maths - 3.1 million out of 3.8 million doses did not come to Australia, he told reporters in Canberra. That obviously had a very significant impact on the early rollout of the vaccination program, until we got into a position when the domestically produced AstraZeneca vaccine would be in place.
