Aged care residents have been eligible since February and on April 14, the Commonwealth issued advice that facilities would continue to provide Pfizer to residents.
But Mr Parkes said the health service has had its inoculations pushed back.
"We are hoping that residents will be vaccinated this week," he said.
"It's a scandal that the most vulnerable in our community are still waiting, while we're vaccinating people to go to sporting events."
Mr Parkes said he and many of his staff had organised their own vaccination with their doctors.
"The Commonwealth had engaged an agent ... I think there is now a second agent who is delivering on behalf of the Commonwealth," he said.
"We had to put in enormous resources because we got short notice that they were coming to give Pfizer to residents.
"Our nurse practitioner worked over the weekend to get all of our residents flu-vaxxed, so that two weeks later they could get the Pfizer - at cost and at disruption - and we're still waiting.
"It's a disgrace."
The Department of Health confirmed Yackandandah Health's aged care residents are scheduled to receive their first dose of Pfizer next week.
"As at 3 May 2021, over 234,457 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in 1656 residential aged care facilities across Australia," a spokeswoman said.
"Of those, 1088 have received a second COVID-19 vaccine dose.
"The Australian government is committed to ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of COVID-19 vaccines.
"The roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines to residents in residential aged care facilities continues with the use of multiple providers ensuring that the program is delivered as quickly as possible.
"We appreciate the work of providers in supporting the program and in particular, the scheduling of flu vaccinations around the COVID with the vaccines. All of these programs are so important in keeping our elderly residents safe."

"Further work is underway to provide more access for these important workers, noting the changes required due to the medical advice," the spokeswoman said.
