Hurry up, Merlino urges feds on vaccines
Victoria has recorded one locally-acquired virus case and another eight cases in hotel quarantine.
The local case is a primary close contact that has already been linked to the current outbreak that sparked the latest statewide lockdown.
The Acting Premier James Merlino told reporters he wants to see a sense of urgency regarding the vaccination program emerge from Monday's National Cabinet meeting.
"When you compare how Australia is going with the rest of the world, we are falling so far behind it's not funny," he said.
He said Victorians would face a shortfall in vaccine supplies from the Commonwealth in July and August, before what he described as a "mad rush" towards the end of the year.
"We simply have not received enough supply of the vaccine," he said.
He said while the state is prioritising supplies for second doses so people can be fully vaccinated, Victoria is reliant on supply levels determined by the Commonwealth.
"If sub-national jurisdictions could purchase Pfizer we would do it in a heartbeat," Mr Merlino said.
Meanwhile the state's health authorities have tightened restrictions for travellers from NSW amid an outbreak there.
The health department added the local government areas of Bayside, Canada Bay, Inner West and Randwick to its list of orange zones on Sunday evening.
Anyone travelling to Victoria from these areas must get a COVID test and isolate until they receive a negative result.
The City of Sydney, Waverley and Woollahra LGAs have already been listed as orange zones.
More than 16,000 coronavirus test results were received in the 24 hours to midnight on Sunday, and the number of exposure sites remains at 108.
