I sure hope NSW does not send Pfizer doses to Victoria. We are most at risk from a large scale outbreak because Sydney takes the lion's share of people in HQ. The current Victorian outbreak is fairly modest. Victoria has done the least and now they're asking NSW to send their vaccines because once again they have no faith in their contact tracing. Honestly, they've got more front than Mark Foy's.

NSW has been asked to send its Pfizer doses to Victoria by the southern state’s peak medical body, which says the suppression of community transmission would benefit Australia as a whole.When asked if NSW would consider sending any excess vaccines to Victoria, a spokesperson from NSW Health said the federal government is “leading the vaccine roll-out and is responsible for securing and distributing COVID-19 vaccines, with states and territories responsible for implementing parts of the program”.

The Herald understands about 250,000 people aged 40 to 49 in NSW have registered for a Pfizer vaccine. There are anecdotal reports appointments at the Olympic Park mass vaccination site is booked up well into July.
