Vaccine rollout has only reached six per cent of people in disability care homes

The government’s vaccine rollout continues to be administered slowly to disability care homes despite numbers increasing nationwide. The rollout has only reached 93 out of 6000 disability care homes resulting just over six per cent of people living with disabilities in those homes receiving the vaccine. The Australian’s Health Editor Natasha Robinson told Sky News the progress in disability care homes is the most “critically concerning” aspect of the government’s rollout raised in the Senate inquiry into the rollout on Tuesday. “It really is incredibly difficult to believe how slowly the rollout has been progressing in disability care homes and among staff,” she said. “Virtually no staff working in disability care homes have been vaccinated. “The numbers are quite shocking in terms of how slowly that rollout has been proceeding.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
