No state or territory should be allowed to reopen until every Australian with a disability has been given a genuine chance to be fully vaccinated, a royal commission has told the Federal Government.

In a draft report published on Monday, it says the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines to people with disabilities and their carers has been “seriously deficient”.
