The New South Wales Chief Health Officer, Kerry Chant, has said in relation to vaccines, and I quote:

I believe in targeting school-age children, in particular high school children, very quickly because we know they contribute to transmission.

The Pfizer vaccine has been approved for children as young as 12. If the Morrison government had ordered more Pfizer last year, would Australians aged 12 to 19 now be vaccinated?
