Federal Labor MP Milton Dick says Australia is lagging behind getting people vaccinated against COVID-19.

He told Scott Emerson the government had botched the rollout and failed to outline a long term solution for quarantine.

“We are getting around 1.4 million doses coming into the country a week but we are only delivering about 500,000 vaccines a week,” he told Scott Emerson.

“I know the Prime Minister and Minister Hunt says it’s not a race, but I will say publicly I believe it is a race we have got to beat this virus particularly when you see what’s happening in places like Melbourne.”
