In Australia’s effort to bring forward millions of Pfizer vaccine doses, former MP Kevin Rudd may have some influence in reaching this target.

As Scott Morrison has not yet directly contacted the Pfizer chairman, Albert Bourla, about Australia’s vaccine shortage problem, Kevin Rudd stepped in as a concerned Australian citizen to get discussions going, talking to Dr Bourla in late June.

Whilst the discussion was hopeful, indicating that if more doses become available Pfizer may help out Australia, it still comes down to the Australian Government making arrangements with Pfizer.
