Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has officially recognised two additional vaccines for inoculation against COVID-19 - China's Sinopharm and India's Covaxin. Their approval spells out relief for thousands of fully vaccinated students, citizens and family members waiting to come to Australia.


Highlights
  • For now, the Australian border is only open to returning Australians, permanent residents and their immediate family members in three jurisdictions.
  • Andrew McKellar, chief executive of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry says he wants to see quarantine-free travel for fully vaccinated students.
  • Mr McKellar says any delays before the academic year preventing international students from coming could affect Australia's economic recovery.
