Of those residents who've received first doses but not the second, there are 13,000 in the last five per cent. Where the shadow minister is mistaken is he's not aware or deliberately not referring to the fact that there are approximately 13.8 per cent of residents who did not accept or were not given consent for or were unable to accept a vaccination the first time. Very importantly, 86.2 per cent of residents accepted first doses. In addition to that, we are also offering those residents who did not accept first doses opportunities to do so through in-reach clinics or through the general practice program we announced on Monday of this week, which will empower up to 30,000 general practitioners to visit clinics. So 86.2 per cent of residents have accepted first doses, 100 per cent of facilities have been visited and, within the next short period, 100 per cent of facilities will have had second doses.
