However, it is clear that the government wants as many Australians as possible to get vaccinated. I thank Australians for the fact that they are responding in record numbers to the request to get vaccinated. They are responding in record numbers, with yesterday some 213,947 Australians turning out to have another dose of vaccine administered. Those numbers have driven the total number of vaccine doses administered to more than 12.8 million across Australia. They've got us to the point where some 42 per cent of all eligible Australians over the age of 16 have had their first dose.
