The aged care sector has warned the government to drastically improve its vaccine rollout to aged care staff before winter, saying it is vital that workers be “given priority and vaccinated quickly”.

The health department announced on Thursday that almost 2.9m Australians have been vaccinated, including about 279,986 in aged and disability care.
