ADF called in to assist aged care COVID-19 vaccine rollout – Sydney Morning Herald
Army doctors and nurses are undergoing training this week before they join the work to immunise aged care residents and workers from next week.
The company tasked with providing those vaccinations, Healthcare Australia, admitted it was not keeping up with their schedule, as its chief executive stood aside while the incident was investigated.
A third private medical provider last week stepped in to help, as Health Minister Greg Hunt acknowledged the aged care rollout was 72 hours behind schedule but would be back on track by the end of this week.
Aged care is, around the country, doing incredibly well, he said on 2GB on Friday.
