Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching says state governments will have to “white-knuckle their way through the next five months” due to the supply chain issues in the Commonwealth vaccine rollout.
Modelling from the Department of Health forecasts the AstraZeneca vaccine will be phased out by October with the Pfizer and Moderna shots to be prioritised as part of the vaccination program.
Senator Kitching attributed vaccine supply chain issues to the federal government’s failure to pursue a contract for Pfizer last year.
“We would’ve had 40 million doses of Pfizer last year but the government didn’t pursue that deal, they banked on Astrazeneca,” she told Sky News.
“I think there was a view that we should just have AstraZeneca but other countries in the world have had a mix of vaccines.
“We’re not going to get them (Pfizer and Moderna) until October so there are a lot of state governments who are going to white-knuckle their way through the next five months.
“There are supply chain issues and (NSW Health Minister) Brad Hazzard also said this morning that their hands are tied behind their backs because they don’t have the vaccines to distribute.”
