Western Australia has the ignominy of being the jurisdiction with the lowest vaccine take-up rate, a situation experts say is due to a mix of complacency and geography.
Only 13 per cent of Western Australians have been fully vaccinated, about 2.4 percentage points behind NSW, which is battling through a massive outbreak, according to website covid19data.com.au.
â[Whatâs] happening in Sydney could be happening in Perth in two weeksâ time,â Professor Peter Collignon says.Â
Like his counterparts in the east, WA Premier Mark McGowan has rebuffed pleas by NSW for more Pfizer doses to help curb Sydneyâs growing outbreak.

CANBERRA, July 18 (Xinhua) The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has been enlisted to inoculate thousands of Australians in remote areas against COVID-19.
Frank Quinlan, RFDS federation executive director, said the service has administered about 5,121 coronavirus vaccines since being brought in by governments to accelerate the rollout in remote communities.
Of those vaccines, it was estimated that about 45 percent were for Indigenous Australians. Early on in the pandemic we identified a whole number of communities across Australia where the RFDS is either one of or the primary source of health care, he said, according to Nine Entertainment newspapers on Sunday.
