They wont be. Any suggestion that they will get vaccinated before the elderly, vulnerable and health care workers is false and misleading.
Australia purchased vaccines early from overseas sources and also is manufacturing one vaccine type domestically and it has been estimated they will be producing one million doses a week from march this year.
Athletes may be vaccinated early in Phase two of the roll out. Phase one covers those who "need it" first.
