According to China’s foreign ministry and media outlets, the Australian government has been accused of ’sabotaging’ their Covid vaccine aid program for Pacific Island nations, such as Papua New Guinea.

The Australian Minister for International Development and the Pacific, Zed Seselja has rejected the claims and wants people to study Australia’s track record of providing high quality and timely medical support. 

Health officials from the Pacific Islands said they are not concerned over where the vaccines originate from, but want the safety of the citizens to come first.
