The Corrective Services Department confirmed that COVID-19 vaccinations are being rolled out to prisoners in Queensland jails.
Corrective Services Minister Mark Ryan said the program is overseen by Queensland Health but faced some complications due to differing ages and health of prisoners, meaning some are eligible for the AstraZeneca vaccine and some are not.
Together Queensland, which represents prison wardens, said wardens should be included in the vaccination programs as they are more likely to be the vector from prisons to the community.
