Scott Morrison blames ATAGI for slow vaccine rollout
The PM says a series of 'very cautious' decisions by the panel of medical experts has put the COVID-19 vaccination scheme behind schedule
Scott Morrison has blamed a panel of medical experts advising on immunisation for Australia’s slow coronavirus vaccine rollout.
The prime minister said a series of “very cautious” decisions from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) had a massive impact.
“It slowed it considerably and it put us behind. We wish that wasn’t the result but it was,” he told 2GB radio on Wednesday.
“Those decisions are made independent of government, as they should be.”
