I completely reject the assertion that the Australian government has not secured enough vaccines. We have procured over 100 million doses of vaccines. We have available—and they will be available—enough vaccines that will be developed for the possibility of booster shots down the track.

We will do what we said we would do, which is to continue to increase the supply, continue to increase the opportunity for Australians to take up the vaccine. There are more than 8,000 points in this country, right now, where people can get access to a vaccine.
