Some positive news on the deployment of the COVID-19 vaccine in Australia

Australia is on track to have 80% of eligible people fully vaccinated by the end of November.

Earlier this month, Tony Blakely, epidemiology researcher at the University of Melbourne, told Neil Mitchell Australia necessary to administer between 140,000 and 155,000 doses of vaccine per day to reach the target of 80% by Christmas.

We break that.

Over the past seven days, 1.6 million doses of the vaccine have been administered.

That’s a daily average of about 237,000 doses.

Yesterday was a record day for immunization, with 279,465 people vaccinated across the country.

If COVID-19 vaccinations continue at the current rate, Australia will meet the target of 80% fully vaccinated vaccines on November 25.
