Several reasons:
  • We are not experiencing uncontrolled and dangerous spread like US and UK so emergency approval is not required.
  • TGA is still reviewing detailed results particularly in relation to A-Z vaccine as to how the 2 doses are administered.
  • We have not yet received any imported vaccines and will not receive these in sufficient volumes before March
  • CSL is not yet able to produce local Astra-Zenaca vaccine in sufficient volumes to create meaningful vaccination program
  • Linfox and DHL are still establishing logistical supply line for vaccines particularly Pfizer vaccine which has special cold-handling requirements
