New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian says the federal government's aim to vaccinate everyone in the country by October would be a stretch, even just with the first dose of the vaccine.   The premier laid the blame for delays at the federal government's feet, saying her state is already ahead of schedule in its rollout.   Ms Berejiklian says she wants the Commonwealth to work with New South Wales to allow the state to help the federal government with the remainder of the vaccine rollout.
