Is Australia botching the vaccine rollout? - a podcast by ABC Radio

Six million Australians are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, but as of Monday, fewer than 600,000 have had it.

For many countries, the hold up has been the international supply chain, but that's not the case here.

Today on The Signal, we investigate the slow start to Australia's COVID-19 vaccine program.

Is it time to admit there's a problem? And either way, how do we speed it up?
