The following graphic shows the percentage of people aged 12 and over who are partially or fully vaccinated in each jurisdiction. People in Australia currently require two jabs to be fully vaccinated, with millions of booster shots (a third vaccine) expected to be administered in 2022.

The following graphic shows the proportion of each age group that is now partially or fully vaccinated across Australia.
