Vaccinate the Aged Care residents – should be mandatory

I watch the news regularly and am very aware that mandatory vaccination for COVID is somewhat contentious.
I see the blame for illness and death in Aged Care Facilities being directed to the operators despite long term lack of funds, extreme staff shortages and inadequate/non-existent support.
I watch our Federal Government promise lots of action yet nothing proactive happens – just another body set up to scrutinise aged care facilities.
Why oh Why is it that the one group not required to have a vaccination are the Aged Care Residents themselves.
My estimate is that at least 10% of residents have not been vaccinated by choice or the choice of their relatives – that is around 36,000 people.
Politics of the worst kind at play???
