Britain is rushing 4 million Pfizer doses to Australia, where authorities are scrambling to bolster supplies of that COVID-19 vaccine and protect the population against a rapidly spreading outbreak of the delta variant.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the British shots would leave Britain on September 4 and double Australia's Pfizer supplies in September.More Related News
