ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Dr Norman Swan looks at the spread of COVID-19 into aged care in Victoria | 7.30” – below is their description.
Since the start of the pandemic 910 Australians have died. Almost three quarters of those have been aged care residents – 678 to be precise.
You’d think when the federal government started a vaccine rollout that its top priority would have been getting every last aged care resident fully vaccinated, since they’re the most vulnerable people in the community.
But with a new outbreak in Victoria spreading into aged care, it’s becoming clear that the vaccine coverage of residents – and staff – leaves a lot to be desired.
