As the Covid pandemic continues to spread around the world with over 187 million recorded infections and 4 million deaths, countries including Australia have embarked upon vaccination programs including the use of mRNA (Pfizer and Moderna), viral vector (Astra Zeneca), and subunit protein vaccines (Novovax).

Australia is in the dawn of its vaccination program against SARS-COV2, inoculations commenced this week among frontline health workers and aged care residents as well as our Prime Minister. By comparison, Israel’s vaccination rollout has been the fastest in the world, half the population has received one dose already and one third has received both inoculations.
