We don't have 90-95% vaccinated in Australia or any state of Australia. It's of the eligible population and it's excluding the under 12 year olds. The whole covid is mild in children argument aside, the fact is the population simply is not 90+ vaccinated.

Ahem from the ACT where our 16+ double-dose rate is “>99%”. [0]

I’ll give you the technicality that you said “state” but still, we’re doing pretty good here in the territory!

I had my booster yesterday morning. I’m 45.

16+ is not the whole ACT population and was my point. Undoubtedly 99% are great numbers for 16+… but an entire cohort is excluded from vaccination statistics of which are vulnerable to infection.

Ah, gotcha. Still, with our 12-15 at ~97% you’d have to think that we’re a good city to watch. Nowhere else in the world is this vaccinated. If Omicron takes hold here, we’re all buggered. Thankfully, so far it doesn’t seem to be.
