Fixed an issue with scrolling in the Guardian app.
Updated main rollout target chart to use the first dose + lag time projection method.
Temporarily removed the national cases chart.
Changed vaccine stats table to new metrics.
Here, you can see the number of patients in hospital nationwide, along with occupancy thresholds based on the federal government’s ‘common operating picture’ document. For the moment, it may be better to track the progress of the outbreak via hospitalisation statistics rather than case numbers. Latest Australia Covid numbers and statisticsĭue to the issues with testing accessibility and the change in testing criteria, case numbers from mid-December onwards should be considered an underestimate at best. You can find our page listing these resources here. In addition to the government’s official eligibility checker, which lists some clinics near your location which might have vaccination appointments available, there are a number of other helpful resources that can help you to find somewhere that has appointments open. The majority of Australians aged 18 and over are now eligible for a Covid vaccination if they are willing to consider the AstraZeneca vaccine, and provided they do not have a history of some specific health conditions. Percentage of the population fully vaccinated by country Where can I get vaccinated? It also shows the current “lag time” for boosters, that is the time interval between when the equivalent number of second and booster doses were administered – this essentially tracks the delay between second and third doses, which ideally would be as close to four months as possible if the majority of people were getting their shots as soon as they’re eligible. This is obviously a very simple estimate of the time it might take, and will change as the vaccination rate increases or decrease. The trendline is based on the boosters administered, then taking the most recent interval between second and booster doses, and adding this to the date of the second dose. Here, you can see the how the booster rollout is progressing and when we might reach various thresholds. However, in December 2021 the country had vaccinated 90% of the population aged 16 and over, and begun the rollout of boosters. Since then, goals, targets and “horizons” have come and gone. The government was initially hoping to have 4 million people vaccinated by March 2021 and the entire country inoculated by October. One of the biggest logistical exercises in Australia’s history, the delivery of coronavirus vaccines to more than 20 million people was slow to start due to supply issues and concerns around the AstraZeneca vaccine.
