Health Minister defends handling of Pfizer negotiations | rachelclun

Health Minister Greg Hunt says it was appropriate for the head of the country’s vaccine taskforce to be the senior government official at Australia’s first formal meeting with Pfizer last year as Labor continues to accuse the government of being too slow to move on a deal.to engage with senior executives in a first official, highly detailed meeting in early July.Alex Ellinghausen

“The reason why we’re in lockdown today is because of the failure of the government on the vaccine rollout.”show, Mr Hunt denied the government had been slow and said he and his office had been engaged with the pharmaceutical company from the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic. Australia signed a deal with Pfizer for 10 million doses in November. The Commonwealth has since inked further deals with the company, for a total of 40 million doses this year, 60 million for next year and 25 million in 2023.

“What we received was the earliest possible available, and we received it in the quantities that they made available,” he said.Loading
