Should we re-think who gets the vaccine first? - a podcast by ABC News

In a global context, Australia is in an incredibly privileged position when it comes to the coronavirus vaccine rollout.

Case numbers are very low and we're once again getting close to eliminating local spread, so we have time to monitor how the Pfizer vaccine is working in other countries.

We can see what works and what doesn't, which can help inform the vaccine rollout strategy Australia takes when a vaccine eventually arrives.

So on today's Coronacast, how Australia's enviable position allows a re-think on who should get the vaccine first.

Also on today's show:

* We have a question from Gary, an Israeli Coronacaster who lives on a kibbutz

* Some feedback from the Coronacaster from last year who was too afraid to leave the house after the Melbourne lockdown

And it's Friday, which means there's some sort of quick fireness.
