Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that soon children aged 12-15 will become eligible in the Covid vaccine roll out.
Morrison told reporters in Canberra that the decision to vaccinate 12-15 year olds was consistent with the interim advice from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI), who’s set to deliver its final findings today.
There are 1.2 million Australians in this age bracket and Morrison says with our current vaccination rate of 1.8 million doses administered per week, this age group would be immunised quickly.
