In February, peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet published an interim analysis from Phase III clinical trial of the Russian vaccine, showing its 91.6-percent efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19.

Jane Malysiak has received the first COVID vaccine in Australia.

The vaccine's journey from the Pfizer plant in Belgium was handled by pharmaceutical company Pfizer and DHL, a leader in the logistics industry, under a joint partnership for the global transportation of the vaccine.

Meanwhile in Queensland, hotel quarantine workers, border staff and frontline health workers will be informed of their eligibility for vaccination via text message.

Health Minister Greg Hunt says the vaccines are safe for all.

"Please, for yourself, your family, your community, this country, take the vaccine when it's your turn and it's available".

Hunt said there "was a very strong focus on the need for key leaders, not the Parliament, not the Cabinet, not even the leadership group, but a cross-party group, to provide that confidence".

The province also reported 508 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday, for a total of 75,835, along with six more deaths.
