Greg Hunt corrects record after saying just six aged care homes still to be vaccinated

Federal health minister admits he made an error after misreading' departmental advice

The federal health minister, Greg Hunt, has been forced to correct the record after he wrongly claimed that only six aged care facilities across the country had not been visited as part of the national vaccination rollout.

Hunt told parliament on Tuesday he had misread information provided by the health department which had stated 20 sites were yet to receive a first dose of the vaccine.
