Why is the vaccination program so slow there? Is it just the amount of people versus demand?

It really should have been a global effort. I realise people have urgent things they need to do overseas, like see a dying relative but the amount of large gatherings and people on holiday on my facebook feed is giving me the heeby jeebies confused I'm sure the rules aren't for several families to meet are they? I realise I'm in a different country to you

Glad the older ones managed to get vaccinated GrannyGravy, you must be relieved for them!

We have family in Melbourne, those in their 80’s have been vaccinated but their children haven’t, they are all in their 50’

We are in hard lock down (again) in Victoria. We had months and months of it before and we haven’t learnt a damn thing. Hopeless rate of vaccination, hopeless quarantine arrangements and yet we are knowingly letting people in from places that have a huge problem overseas. Of course it is spreading and they have finally worked out that you have to vaccinate aged care workers who work across several different care homes. Duh. How thick are they ? Everything is shut again and they have worked out that you can actually get infected at shopping centres, now. Double duh. We have already had to cancel some much anticipated gatherings and we are not allowed out except to exercise, let alone have any visitors at all.. They won’t say whether or not they will extend the lockdown beyond Thursday. Too bad if you planned to get married or, come to that, die and the family want a funeral.
