          <by role="member" id="5412">The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN:</by>  On Thursday 11 March, the deputy chief executive of the Department for Health and Wellbeing publicly stated that he could not advise where the target had come from to vaccinate 12,000 people in the first weeks of the vaccine program. My question to the minister is: who first advised the minister or the Premier that South Australia could meet a target of 12,000 COVID vaccines in the first three weeks of the rollout?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:34):</by>  My understanding is that the government was not putting forward a target. The government, SA Health, whoever, was making the point that we were destined to receive three shipments of 4,000 doses of Pfizer vaccine. That equals 12,000. That's over three weeks.</text>
