Covid-19 vaccine trials
Bloomfield said there 90-100 trials currently underway to help develope a Covid-19 vaccine overseas.
He said the Government was very keen for an ANZAC approach to rolling out a vaccine, when it’s available.
He said he would have more to say about that in the coming weeks.
Good to see the Government taking my advice at last. I have more.
