The Australian Federal Government and the Victorian Labor Government are in conflict after the Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews flagged that international tourists may need to be triple vaccinated, contradicting the double-dosed decision made by the Coalition.

On Feb. 7, the Federal Government announced that borders will open for fully vaccinated international travellers from Feb. 21, under the assumption that fully vaccinated means having been administered two shots of the COVID-19 vaccine.
