The Secretary of Australia’s Health department, Brendan Murphy, has been criticised for his claim one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine is enough to be fully vaccinated.
Labor senator Katy Gallagher says Professor Murphy’s statement was ‘dangerous’.
Professor Murphy has since clarified his statement, saying all Australians should aim to get two shots. He denies claims it aimed to provide political cover for the Morrison government’s lofty vaccination targets.
