So far Australia's COVID-19 vaccine program has not been a success.

Our early vaccine bets didn't pay off, the rollout strategy has been overhauled once already, we've missed all the deadlines we set for ourselves at the start, and with less than 7 percent of the community having received two shots, herd immunity remains a mirage.

Today on The Signal, we sit down with the ABC's 4 Corners team to investigate all the ways Australia's vaccination program has fallen short

What are the main factors that led us here?

And how do the architects of the scheme account for its failures?
