NSW complains about lack of Covid vaccine rollout details from federal government

Health minister Brad Hazzard says he was not told which aged care facilities in the state are being vaccinated or of plans to use the ADF for distribution

The New South Wales government has again complained that it is not being told key details about the commonwealth's vaccine rollout, including which of the state's aged care facilities have begun immunisation, plans for the potential involvement of the military, and when aged care staff might be immunised.

The federal government has faced criticism on multiple fronts for the lack of communication surrounding its vaccine distribution program. General practitioners, some aged care facilities, and the NSW government have complained that the lack of information from the commonwealth is frustrating their planning efforts.
