No coronavirus vaccine exists yet, but Australia is getting ready to make it

 Documents reveal the Federal Government's plans for a massive roll-out of a vaccine to protect Australians against COVID-19, even before a successful inoculation has been discovered anywhere in the world.

Key points:

The information will be used in an audit of our ability to make the vaccine

The documents were only created on Monday, August 10, and tenders must be lodged by 2pm on August 20

The tenders, available on the Government's AusTender procurement website, also seek companies who have "capacity and capability" with packaging, materials and storage, particularly cold-chain management

"The Commonwealth of Australia … is working to seek early access to and delivery of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines and treatments as soon as they are available," an official 'Request for Information' (RFI) document said.


"The scope of this RFI is to identify capacity that could be applied to support onshore COVID-19 vaccine and treatment manufacture, distribution and administration activity."
