The Pfizer vaccine to be saved for younger Australians, while AstraZeneca is targeted at the over 50's, under the latest vaccination program shake-up; Australia will cut flights from India by 30 percent as that country breaks global records for infections, with deaths surging. A first-hand account from the depths of that crisis; and we speak with a pregnant mother – who avoided COVID for a year in the UK – only to contract the virus in a quarantine hotel in Perth.

Guilty on all counts.. Relief from the U-S President down, after a murder conviction for the police officer who killed George Floyd; and no money and in poor health, an Australian resident stuck in the United States appeals for government help to get him home.

The New Zealand travel bubble remains intact – after an Auckland airport worker who was vaccinated tests positive for COVID-19. They're not particularly ill - so Prime Minister Ardern says the vaccine's working; and the Prime Minister lashes out at inner-city types, saying they won't decide how Australia cuts emissions. But is his track the right path to net zero?

The government bows to pressure and plans a Royal Commission into veteran suicide, we'll discuss what the scope of the inquiry should be with Afghanistan veteran John Bale; and after returned travellers catch COVID-19 in their Sydney quarantine hotel room, leading epidemiologist Mary Louise McLaws blasts government failures.

A furore in the scientific community as a top advisor to the Federal government advances the controversial theory that there's something special and undiscovered, in fresh air, that prevents COVID transmission; and the big banks at odds over just how much house prices will rise this year, we'll have their latest predictions.

After 20 years of conflict, Australia's to follow the U-S out of Afghanistan, there's no peace to celebrate, so what's the legacy? And GP's insist they should remain front and centre of the vaccine roll-out, including at mass vaccination centres;

More mass vaccination hubs are planned for mid-year in a bid to catch up on the botched roll-out as the Prime Minister's switches to a war footing, admitting we're beset with problems and issues; and the Prime Minister regrets hurting the former Australia Post boss who was forced from her job.. But he stops short of apologising for his outburst in parliament.

The former Australia Post boss, forced from her job after the Prime Minister lashed her in parliament, speaks out; and doctors told to be on the lookout for any blood clotting with patients who've received the Astra Zeneca vaccine after another rare but troubling case.

Pfizer is now Australia's best hope to complete the vaccine roll-out. But with no estimate on when everyone will get an injection, we'll assess the alternatives, like Novovax; and an influential World Health Organisation advisor is under fire for suggesting the use of air-tight face masks should be balanced against the risk of acne.

Officials insist Australia's vaccine program is still going well, despite the changed advice about AstraZeneca and extremely rare blood clots; Where to from here as Australia scrambles to secure other vaccines? We're joined by health policy expert Bill Bowtell and epidemiologist Catherine Bennett.
