Acting Prime Minister Michael McCormack has echoed the sentiments of Prime Minister Scott Morrison, saying that it is “not a race” to get Australians vaccinated against COVID-19.

McCormack, who is acting prime minister with Morrison on an official trip to New Zealand, also does not believe there is hesitancy in getting the COVID-19 jab with 120,000 people vaccinated on Saturday and a similar number the day before.
