Australia is not “at the back of the queue” for a coronavirus vaccine, former chief medical officer Brendan Murphy says.
A committee investigating the COVID-19 response on Friday was told the Federal Government could make an announcement in coming weeks.
Department of Health secretary Dr Murphy said Australia had made a “non-binding” commitment to be part of a COVAX initiative, a movement to ensure access to COVID-19 vaccines for every country.
When asked why Australia was yet to contribute financially to COVAX, Dr Murphy said it was being considered.
