New vaccine program successful in Vic

The Victorian government has vaccinated more than 10,000 people living with a disability against COVID-19 with an Australian-first liaison program.

The program, open to people five years and older, pairs up officers with people and their families to find the best way to get a vaccine - whether through a state-run clinic or at home, Anthony Carbines, Victoria's disability minister said Saturday.

"We are making sure every Victorian has access to a COVID-19 vaccine - we know there are many Victorians living with disability who would benefit from this dedicated program and the support it provides," Mr Carbines said.
