If it is to be mostly the Astrazeneca vaccine for Australia, and it is widely available from CSL at refrigerator temperature(-2deg C), can't see why vaccinating the entire country in short order would be much of a big deal at all. I didn't see any queues whilst as many as 18 million people received the flu jab, last year.
