Huge leap forward for Australia’s coronavirus vaccination hopes – and the jab could arrive Down Under next WEEK
The Covid vaccination could arrive in Australia next week after the shipment was formally approved to leave the European Union.
After initial concerns the European Union could block the export under new measures, the jab was finally approved on Wednesday night.
It’s believed the vaccine could arrive Down Under as soon as next week, 9News reports.
On Tuesday, EU’s Ambassador to Australia Dr Michael Pulch said Australian orders of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine would be shipped ‘as foreseen’.
‘We have worked very closely with our Australian partners, I spoke also with Trade Minister Tehan last week and my colleagues said that they will work with the Australians to ensure that there will be a smooth authorisation process,’ he said.
