The Territory Labor Government is set to deliver more than 100,000 new COVID-19 vaccine appointments in the Top End.
This comes as a new COVID-19 vaccination clinic is set to open at Palmerston next month.
The new vaccination clinic, based at the Palmerston Hub, will deliver at least 2000 extra appointments per week and open to all Territorians from September 1.
This increase in capacity will ensure the Territory Labor Government can effectively administer the increased supply of vaccines the Commonwealth is expected to provide.
The Territory Labor Government's vaccine rollout continues to progress well with almost 160,000 vaccines administered since February.
More than 51% of Territorians have now received their first dose and 32% have received their second dose and are fully vaccinated.
The remote rollout is tracking well with 42% of remote Territorians who have received their first dose and 25% now fully vaccinated.
In addition, Territorians will continue to see a steady supply of vaccine appointments in Nhulunbuy, Alice Springs, Tennant Creek, Katherine and remote communities.
Territorians can also book appointments at a participating GP clinic, respiratory clinic or community pharmacy.

Quotes from Health Minister Natasha Fyles:
"We will continue to work in partnership with the Commonwealth Government and expect additional vaccine doses to come online.
"More than 100,000 vaccine appointments are set to come online and this means anyone living in the Top End who wants an appointment will be able to book one.
"We are expecting more vaccine doses to become available from September and this new COVID-19 vaccination hub in Palmerston will boost our capacity to deliver more appointments."
