A recent opinion poll has revealed that the delay in vaccination during the Covid epidemic was a reason for the deaths of Australians.
It is said that due to that delay, the economy of Australia has also been damaged by 31 billion dollars.
According to an inquiry about the government’s response during the Covid epidemic, these facts have been revealed.
In response to the 868-page report, the federal government said it would formally establish a Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Although Australia has a low death rate compared to other countries, the investigation has found that it was not prepared for the epidemic.
Delays in vaccine approval and procurement in 2021 had a significant impact on the economy, the report said.
The government has stated that it has set up a task force to deal with the recommendations of this report, and it has recommended to give priority to 19 of them in the next year and a half.
