‘We did it’: GPs hailed as Australia passes key COVID-19 vax milestone

Australia passed another key COVID-19 vaccination milestone on the weekend, with more than 80% of those aged 16 or over now fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Nearly 37 million shots have been administered in total since the beginning of the year, including 20.5 million doses given in GP practices and primary care .
Despite the bumpy start to the vaccine rollout, Australia has recently powered ahead and is now among the most vaccinated countries in the world – above the UK, USA and Germany, but still behind the UAE and Portugal.
In a video message posted on social media, Prime Minister Scott Morrison congratulated doctors for the mammoth undertaking.
