Australia’s population is concentrated in several urban centres near the coast. We’re 86% urbanised, one of the world’s highest, so apart from some very sparse remote communities which will benefit from government funded vaccination programs it’ll actually be easier to vaccinate Australians.

We have no jab no play. That’s worked, and flu vaccine uptake was around 70% for 2020. Employers will make it mandatory, schools will make it mandatory, it’ll be mandatory to travel, the elderly and vulnerable will desire it. The vast majority of people aren’t anti-vaxxers, unless influential people with an agenda are allowed to perpetuate that message in the media.
