Barriers include transportation to vaccine centres and communication not being catered to them.
Minister for Disability issues Carmel Sepuloni told Kate Hawkesby there is vaccine hesitancy too.
"People may have had negative experiences with the health system with previous situations, so that may extend to vaccinations. We need to do whatever we can to promote vaccination amongst disabled people."
