Just for interest to finish by Dec '21 would require reaching min 150K injections/day for at least 6 months. Great to see hubs being utilised and more being planned.

Thanks Professor McLaws. Given the clotting problems and low efficacy against variants of the adenovirus vaccines, shouldn't we be using mRNA vaccines - like New Zealand, Israel and the USA - to attempt herd immunity?

Thanks Mary-Louise but how come the target is 83%? Israel appears to have reached a level of immunity (transmission close to zero) with just over 50% fully vaccinated (and 15% percent recovered)

Thanks Adam. 83.5% is a weighted average calculated from 2 vaccine efficacies & estimated populations receiving each vaccine.

No drama. Over 70% approval for border closure until mid22. Political suicide to open earlier. Waiting for Pfizer.

Thanks Marylouise. We need more information like this to get more urgency in the community to get vaccinated. Scomo take note.

great minds think alike. This Ready Reckoner is based on doses/wk. My hunch is growth has to come thru state hubs. The GP process has done nothing to suggest they will ever get anywhere near the planned 500k/wk.

Just had my first jab.

I have elderly neighbours who can't get to hubs and just want to get vax locally from their own GP but can't. If they want to do Hubs move out of central city locations and create lots of smaller local ones in the suburbs and smaller regional towns.
