Two million more Australians a week will be able to get the Pfizer jab from October as the government ramps up the Covid vaccine rollout. Health Minister Greg Hunt announced on Sunday that 4.5 million doses will be available by the end of June, before another shipment of seven million doses will arrive come October. Australians could be fully-vaccinated by the end of the year as the federal government announces two million Pfizer shots a week will arrive on shore during the last quarter of this year.
