Update: Vaccines
In another record day for vaccinations, 35,753 vaccine doses were administered by Victoria's state-commissioned services yesterday.
The total number of doses administered through these services is 2,324,198.
Every Victorian aged 16 years and over is now eligible to access a coronavirus vaccine at state-run vaccination centres, under an expansion of the state vaccine program that will further help Victoria reach its goal of one million doses over five weeks by 19 September.
For more information, see Vaccine eligibility expanding for anyone 16 and over.
We have a focus on the western suburbs with our four large vaccination centres providing vaccinations in an area that is not as well serviced by the GP and primary care network.
The vaccination centre at the Melbourne Showgrounds is administering 1,000 vaccines a day, the Melton drive-through site more than 800 vaccinations a day, the Eagle Stadium in Werribee more than 600 a day and the hub at the Sunshine Hospital more than 1,700 vaccinations a day.
