Coronavirus live news: countries scramble to secure vaccine doses as US sees record hospitalisations | World news

I’m also delighted to announce that the government has secured as part of its agreement with Pfizer, full cold chain logistics, distribution for the Pfizer vaccine.
It’s what you call an mRNA vaccine, we have 10m units of that, part of a 134.8m unit, four-vaccine strategy …
We have secured that for Australia, well ahead of expectations and on schedule, to deliver vaccines to Australians, commencing in March 2021.
That is I think extremely important news. While, again, the advice is today that we may well have another zero community transmission case day for Australia, they are still waiting on two jurisdictions, we nevertheless have to be aware that we will not be out of this until we have a nation which has had a full vaccination program.
