Highlights

• The Australian government has spent $23.9 million on an ad campaign for the coronavirus vaccine 
• All Australian citizens, permanent residents and most visa holders will be eligible for a free vaccine
• With a lack of official in-language information coming from the government, many non-English speaking communities have been left to create and distribute their own resources about the vaccine
