Australians are likely to face mandatory coronavirus vaccinations if Prime Minister Scott Morrison gets his wish.
The nation is a step closer to gaining access to a vaccine, with the Federal Government securing an international deal to produce a vaccine frontrunner locally if trials succeed.
If that happens, Mr Morrison said Australia would have a target of 95 per cent vaccination, which would account for people with health conditions that prevented them being vaccinated.
"I would expect it to be as mandatory as you could possibly make it," he told Melbourne radio station 3AW.
"There are always exemptions for any vaccine on medical grounds, but that should be the only basis.
"We are talking about a pandemic that has destroyed the global economy and taken the lives of hundreds of thousands all around the world, and over 430 Australians here."
The Government has signed an agreement with UK-based drug company AstraZeneca to secure the potential COVID-19 vaccine, being developed by Oxford University.
If the vaccine clears trials, the Federal Government would manufacture it and make it free for all Australians.
But that's unlikely to be until next year at the earliest, Mr Morrison said.
Acting Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly said he expected strong voluntary take-up of any vaccine that was approved for use.
"Of course, the first will be a voluntary call for people and I'm sure there will be long queues — socially distanced, of course — for this vaccine," he said.
"There will be very strong campaigns to encourage people and we've had experience before of linking vaccination with other programs, and all of those things will be looked at over time."
Parents who do not immunise their children currently risk reductions in Family Tax Benefit A payments and losing access to the Child Care Subsidy.

I thought he later backpedaled from this.
usual elected SOB despots.
china has succeeded in outing despots/dictators in so called liberal democracies.
china virus proved to be litmus test to detect stupid leaders, dictators across the world.
trump is in stupid category.
I think few leaders from few countries passed: e.g. taiwan, sweden, brazil, south korea
It will probably be mandatory for schools, military and corporations here too.
Don’t let me hear next this vaccine is first of it’s kind to be given as a skin patch placed on the forehead or hand instead of a jab lol.

eh...?
‘I thought he later backpedaled from this.’
he claims he meant ‘there should be extraordinary attempts and measures to encourage people to be vaccinations’, and that people can’t ‘be held down and made to take it, obviously...’
SURPRISE...SURPRISE...!

Australian citizens better pray Oxford’s vaccine is better than its modeling.
RE: Australian citizens better pray Oxford’s vaccine is better than its modeling.
I think the model that was way off was the London Imperial College Model, not Oxford’s.
