CV and mad panic behaviour

Victoria’s 91.3% first dose rate is first rate. I’d imagine the committed anti-vaxxers will make it hard to improve much on that figure.

But that figure needs to be reduced to reflect the vaccination rate in the whole community as it includes only those 16 years and over. Assuming around 20% are younger than that, then the first dose vaccination rate goes down to about 73% of the community. But that figure would have to be increased to reflect vaccinations in the 12-15 year age group unless those vaccinations are included already in the 91.3% figure.

The 91.3% figure is 16s and older.

79% of Victoria's 12-15 year olds have received their first vaccination and 45% are fully vaccinated.  That's an amazing result given the timeframe.
