Date Time Colbeck “comfortable” with failed vaccine rollout Aged care Minister Richard Colbeck says he is “comfortable with where we’re at” on the vaccine rollout in aged care which has seen only 15 per cent of staff vaccinated and the rest facing serious financial disincentives to do so. The Federal Government has abandoned the plan for workplace vaccinations for aged care workers, forcing the entire workforce to take time away from work to get vaccinated and deal with any routine side-effects. These workers are in the group that the Morrison Government correctly identified as the most at risk and the highest priority for vaccination – three months ago. Every effort should be made to vaccinate these workers.
