[by video link] My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health, Senator Colbeck. More than two months ago ATAGI and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recommended that Pfizer be offered to pregnant women at any stage in their pregnancy. Why did it take the Morrison government a further six weeks to include pregnant women as a priority in the vaccine rollout and a further two weeks to update the national Vaccine Eligibility Checker?
