I thank the senator for the question. We continue to build and grow the rollout of the vaccine. The fact that we have now had over five million Australians receive their first dose of a vaccine is a significant achievement, and we're very close to achieving six million doses of vaccine administered.

We continue to build the vaccine rollout as we increase the capacity of supply. That's always been the case. We have been basing the rollout on the supply of vaccine into the country and our distribution to the states and territories and the GPs, who have done a fantastic job in administering over 50 per cent of the vaccines that have been supplied, and the vaccination process continues to develop. We will continue to work with the states and territories and all outlets to ensure Australians have access to a vaccine.
