Disability Specific Vaccination Hubs Will Open to Speed up Vaccination Rollout
The government has set up dedicated vaccination hubs for people with disabilities to provide additional options to receive their vaccine doses.
“These hubs allow providers, in partnership with the Commonwealth Government and vaccine providers, to ensure some of the most vulnerable Australians and their support workers and carers can be vaccinated faster,” National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Minister Linda Reynolds said.
Reynolds said that as of June 1, almost 38,0000 NDIS participants had received at least one dose of the vaccine.
The Australian government has received a large amount of criticism for the vaccine rollout, including the slow pace of vaccinating those with disabilities or in aged care.
