	Description:		Fewer than 1000 people with disabilities living in residential care have received the COVID-19 vaccination, leading to a senior counsel at the disability royal commission to describe the rollout as an “abject failure”. Since the program began in March, 999 people with disabilities in residential care have received a vaccination, while 1527 workers have been vaccinated. In some states, fewer than 10 people in residential homes have been vaccinated. Today on Please Explain, federal health reporter Rachel Clun joins Nathanael Cooper to discuss the small number of people who have received vaccinations in disability residential care.
