Health Editor at The Australian Natasha Robinson says it was “rather foolish” for Australian health authorities to set such a high target for vaccinations initially.
“I think it is quite unfortunate that they set that target of sort of around four million people vaccinated by early April,” Ms Robinson told Sky News.
“They initially said by end of March, and then that changed to early April.”
She said there is “absolutely no way” that target would be reached; there is 100,000 people vaccinated at the moment and “it’s already almost mid-March”.
“I think that was rather sort of foolish that they set that four million mark as a target for early April”.
Ms Robinson said it gives a perception where people wonder “what’s going wrong with the rollout”.
