Subscriber only A vaccination blitz of Queensland aged care workers will be taken on by the state government as it steps up to fix the federal government s botched vaccine rollout in the sector. The Federal government on Tuesday was forced to reveal just 8.7 per cent of workers in the sector had received two jabs so far. The dire figure prompted Victoria, which is grappling with a 54-case outbreak, to announce it would undertake a five-day vaccination blitz from Wednesday by giving aged care workers priority access to jab hubs. The Courier-Mail understands plans for a similar blitz in Queensland using the state s existing hospital Pfizer-hub will be finalised in coming days.
