Advocates have also warned that people with a disability, including group home residents and those in regional areas, are still missing out on their Covid-19 vaccinations. The health department announced on Thursday that almost 2.9m Australians have been vaccinated, including about 279,986 in aged and disability care.

But the department’s daily data releases do not give specific figures on the vaccination of either the aged care workforce or those in disability care, two areas where the rollout is lagging badly. Both cohorts were included in the highest-priority group – phase 1a – but the rollout plan has since shifted repeatedly. Initially, aged care workers were to receive their jab from an in-reach team, which visited their facility separately to aged care residents. The in-reach teams, in many cases, did not show up, and staff were left in limbo. As recently as last month, the federal government still did not have a clear plan for vaccinating aged care workers under the age of 50.

The federal government is considering whether to set up mass vaccination clinics, which have been deployed successfully in the United States and the UK, to help accelerate Australia’s much-criticised rollout. Experts have broadly supported using mass vaccination clinics in tandem with general practitioners as an effective means of distribution.
