Hon ANDREW LITTLE: We have had a health system that has had to respond at pace to a worldwide pandemic and had to go from business as usual to administering currently 10.8 million vaccinations to our population to keep them safe from the horrors of COVID-19. That does require trade-offs. The reality is no system, particularly a system of our size, can do absolutely everything asked of it. So when we make trade-offs, we have to trade off assembling the workforce, drawn from the current health workforce, to do the COVID-19 vaccination campaign, and because the borders were closed and the risk of measles infection was way, way lower than hitherto had been the case, it was a trade-off that I was prepared to back.
