Hazzard ‘extremely angry’ over ‘misleading’ vaccine comments

New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard says he is "extremely angry" over the federal government’s “misleading” coronavirus vaccine comments, as he demands an apology. Earlier on Wednesday the federal government said it was the states who are to blame for the rollout speed of the vaccine. “Let me make it very clear, I am as angry as I have ever been in this 15 months of war against this virus,” Mr Hazzard said. “All governments in Australia should be working together. Can I point out also that just in New South Wales alone last week, we are in week six, last week was the fifth week, we were under the impression from the advice we received from the Federal Government that we would receive just over 13,000 vaccines. “What they actually gave us, with no forward announcement, was 45,000 and a few days later there is a press report saying we haven’t distributed them all. “Well, you get 45,000 items dumped on your front door at night and told ‘now you should have it out by the next morning’ no-one would be able to do that.”
