    production and distribution.

    Minister for Health, Greg Hunt, said “From early on Australian officials led by my department has
    been meeting with developers and manufacturers of a number of promising vaccine candidates, both
    domestic and international, over recent months.
    “We are confident these actions and targeted investments will put us in the best possible position to
    secure early access to safe and effective vaccines for Australia.”

    Australia is significantly contributing


    to vaccine development work both in
    Australia and around the world,
    investing $333 million in vaccines,
    therapeutics and COVID19 medicines
    - including $256 million in vaccines.

    This includes $5 million for the University of Queensland’s innovative “molecular clamp” COVID-19
    vaccine. The Australian vaccine has commenced trials here in Australia.
