âThis announcement wonât solve the problems with the rollout,â Acsa chief executive Patricia Sparrow said. âTo suggest so would just be blame-shifting. The reason there is low rates of vaccination has little to do with our workers.
âThe best way to improve vaccination rates is to make it as easy as possible for aged care workers, including through on-site workplace vaccination.
âOur workers were given priority as 1A and 1B at the beginning of the year, yet they are still waiting to be vaccinated. Itâs not their fault.â
Carolyn Smith, aged care director with the United Workers Union, expressed similar sentiments to Guardian Australia on Tuesday.
