Figures from Tuesday morning, November 16 show the State's population aged over 16 years is 91.1 per cent fully vaccinated, while 94.2 per cent have had a single dose.
Myall Lakes MP Stephen Bromhead put these figures into perspective with the Our World Data as of November 13:
- 67.42 per cent of people in the U.K are fully vaccinated
- 57.53 per cent of people in USA are fully vaccinated
- 72.5 per cent of people in Italy are fully vaccinated
- 68.55 per cent of people in France are fully vaccinated
While our LGA doesn't compare to the size of the above nations, it's a useful tool in seeing how high our vaccination rates are, Mr Bromhead said.
You can get vaccinated Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm at the 56 Chatham Avenue clinic, Taree with booster shots available too.
