This week, we reached 7 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine administered in Australia. It took us 47 days to get to our first million doses administered and just 9 days to reach our most recent million.
The milestone is testament to the hard work of those across the supply chain helping to get vaccines where they are needed, and safely administer them.
We have been focused on operationalising the recent advice from ATAGI, making Pfizer preferred for those under the age of 60.
For people who have had their first dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine without any serious adverse effects the health advice is clear, you should still receive your second dose. This includes adults under 60 years of age.

A total of 5,867,299 vaccinations have been administered at more than 5,500 sites across the country. As of today, 9,179,790 vaccine doses have been delivered to these sites by the Australian Government.
This week, 790,886 doses were administered. Daily reports of vaccines administered continue to increase, with a new largest daily increase of 153,338 recorded on 10 June.
We have continued to provide support to Victoria through the supply of additional vaccines to Commonwealth and State clinics, even while the state faced other pressures with power outages and roads cut off due to snow, flooding and downed trees. This has ensured that vaccination centres and general practices have been supported during this difficult time, with minimal impact to deliveries.
