Australia's COVID-19 vaccine rollout needs to hit '60 to 70 per cent' of the population before effectiveness can be measured, experts warn

 Vaccine experts have warned the Australian population that life will not return to "normal" in 2021 despite the accelerated rollout of the COVID-19 jab, with the effectiveness of any vaccine only measured once "60 to 70 per cent" of the population is immunised.


Key points:

The Federal Government announced on Wednesday it was moving its vaccine rollout to "early March" but yesterday brought that forward to "mid-February"

Vaccine experts say the Australian population needs to remain patient with the rollout, with vaccines not a 'magic bullet'

They say travel to specific countries will be off the cards this year and the COVID-19 environment will remain a part of life for 2021


Prime Minister Scott Morrison yesterday announced frontline workers fighting COVID-19 will get the first jabs of the Pfizer vaccine as early as the middle of next month after the Government moved forward the rollout from "early March".
