COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout

The Hon. T.T. NGO (15:16): I seek leave to the make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding COVID-19.

Leave granted.

The Hon. T.T. NGO: This morning on radio, when asked about the commonwealth government's published vaccine data, the minister said that it is 'quite misleading'. My question to the minister is: why is the minister undermining public confidence in the vaccine rollout by saying that the commonwealth information is misleading? Will the minister table any recent expert health advice that says the commonwealth information is misleading?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:17): In my view the commonwealth data was misleading because it focused on the proportion of supplies delivered and not on the doses administered, and I think that is what South Australians care about.
