Morrison government unveils plan to boost Covid vaccination rates in Indigenous communities

The push will prioritise 30 regions across the country and tackle hesitancy and misinformation with a media campaign

A plan to fast-track vaccinations in dozens of Indigenous communities has been unveiled by the Australian government's Covid vaccine taskforce, with an extra $7.7m in funding to help boost take-up rates and address hesitancy and misinformation.

It comes as health authorities were on Monday forced to correct official figures that had incorrectly doubled vaccination rates for Indigenous Victorians.
