Australia will spend $500 million to secure CCP virus vaccines for itself and its neighbours in the Indo-Pacific region, federal ministers announced on Saturday.
The federal ministers for foreign affairs, health, and the Pacific—Marise Payne, Greg Hunt, and Alex Hawke—said in a joint statement that Australia will secure the vaccines for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus through a range of advance purchase agreements with manufacturers and through participation in the multilateral COVAX Facility.
