Read the transcript of Deputy Chief Medical Officer Professor Michael Kidd's interview on 27 May 2020 on Sunrise about coronavirus (COVID-19). NATALIE BARR: Amid concerns, the flu season could be worsened by coronavirus, an extra 2 million influenza vaccines are being made available to Australians.
That will take the total this year to a record 18 million. For more, I'm joined by Deputy Chief Medical Officer Professor Michael Kidd.
Morning to you. Have more people been lining up for a flu shot this season? PROFESSOR MICHAEL KIDD: Absolutely Nat.
This year we've had record numbers of Australians who've gone to their GP, gone to their local pharmacy to get vaccinated against influenza.
