The most important news to hear over the coming months will be how long a vaccination generates antibodies, the Oxford/Astrazeneca group is probably the most advanced so this will be the one to watch. If the initial vaccinated volunteers start to show significantly reduced generation of antibodies over the next few months, then it's not looking good.

You might get the population to line up for a vaccination once a year, might even do it for twice a year, but not much more than that. The Oxford group vaccination most promising results came from an initial shot + a booster a short time later. So if a twice a year vaccination is ultimately required, that's 4 shots at 4 different times - starting to run into some population synchronisation problems.

The only thing that really makes sense is an elimination strategy - this means limited arrivals in the country of maybe only a few 100 per week for the next 5+ years, all of whom have to go through 3 weeks mandatory offshore isolation. We have plenty of little islands around our big island, so offshore isolation can't be that hard to organise.

Last lot of national surveys said 70+% of Australians don't want more immigration, this may be it. per capita GDP might actually go up a change.

an elimination strategy based on what you have described makes no sense , you may as well turn off the lights in the country
