Good morning. The slow Covid vaccination program has left many Australians unimpressed, judging by the latest Guardian Essential Poll.

More than half of Australians think the Covid vaccine rollout is too slow, according to the latest Guardian essential poll. The latest survey suggests the government is in a vulnerable political position as it attempts to recalibrate the vaccination program. Scott Morrison's approval rating hit its lowest level in 12 months, dropping to 54% in this fortnight's survey from 65% in February. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says the delay in the vaccine rollout is not expected to derail" economic recovery, despite the December mid-year economic forecast assuming the rollout would be fully in place by late 2021. Morrison admitted that all Australians may not be vaccinated by year's end and has offered no new timetable to replace the previous October target. The government has ruled out buying the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, saying it was not interested in purchasing any more adenovirus vaccines, which is the same technology as the AstraZeneca jab.
