So, the population must wait another year for Pfizer to come through. My son has been vaccinated with AZ through the British High Commission.

Lest you think that Australia is brisk and efficient, the current Delta wave got through the sort of loophole you might have expected the risk assessors to have caught. Like who touches the airline crew's baggage on the way to quarantine?
I think Australia and New Zealand have a false sense of security. I have relatives out there and I am appalled that they still don’t know when they will be vaccinated.

I worry that both governments have assumed that by keeping the numbers of cases low courtesy of lockdowns and shunning the urgency of getting the vaccinations done, they are exposing their respective populations to major outbreaks this winter which could have been avoided. This is not over.
