ABC  

NSW is on track to have 90 per cent of its population aged 16 and over vaccinated with a first dose of a COVID-19 shot by next month. Key points: Chief health officer Kerry Chant urges the community not to delay getting vaccinated More than 80 per cent of residents in Blacktown and Campbelltown have had their first jab Expert says 90 per cent double vaccination rate won't be difficult, but 95 per cent would be a real achievement Chief health officer Kerry Chant yesterday said she was thrilled by the uptake of vaccines, which stands at more than 84 per cent, but was confident more could be done. "I want to see us get to 90 per cent first dose by next week … I am asking everyone to redouble their efforts over the next couple of weeks so that we leave no-one behind." "I don't think we will have too much trouble getting to 90 per cent," he said. "Getting to 95 would be a real achievement, those 5 per cent will be more challenging because you're trying to persuade those people that aren't very keen to get vaccinated, to do so."
