The head of Australia’s Covid vaccination rollout has suggested younger Australians could be able to start accessing the Pfizer vaccine by September or October.

Lieutenant General John Frewen told ABC on Tuesday he was confident there would be a “greater range” of choice in vaccinations for people under 40 by those months, but could not be more specific.

“It will be a matter for government for when we open up those cohorts. September, October, I’m confident that we’ll have a greater range of choice around the vaccines,” he said.

Almost 8000 young Australians rushed to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine last week after Prime Minister Scott Morrison offered indemnity to GPs who gave the vaccine to people under 60.

“AstraZeneca, has been, and still is, the workhorse,” Lieutenant Frewen told Sky News on Tuesday, stressing Pfizer was being already being administered to ”full capacity”.
