More than 1 million people could be vaccinated at work after Australia’s businesses were given the green light to join in the rollout and turn offices, warehouses, construction sites, factory floors and mines into vaccination centres.

Following a sustained push by the banks, airlines, supermarkets and others to join the vaccine push to reopen the economy and keep it open, business leaders were given the go-ahead during a briefing on Monday with rollout co-ordinator General John Frewen.
