Australia Covid: Queensland says Pfizer vaccine supply will run out in days

The Australian state of Queensland has just eight days of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine left, authorities warned on Wednesday, as confusion over who should receive the AstraZeneca jab continued and outbreaks across the country grew. The state’s health minister, Dr Yvette D’ath, said the federal government had denied Queensland’s request for more doses of the Pfizer vaccine, despite having given another state, Victoria, 100,000 doses three weeks ago. “So we are getting to that point that we’ll have to start prioritising only second doses if the commonwealth do not have any vaccine left,” she said.
