Ahem from the ACT where our 16+ double-dose rate is “>99%”. [0]

I’ll give you the technicality that you said “state” but still, we’re doing pretty good here in the territory!

I had my booster yesterday morning. I’m 45.

16+ is not the whole ACT population and was my point. Undoubtedly 99% are great numbers for 16+… but an entire cohort is excluded from vaccination statistics of which are vulnerable to infection.

Ah, gotcha. Still, with our 12-15 at ~97% you’d have to think that we’re a good city to watch. Nowhere else in the world is this vaccinated. If Omicron takes hold here, we’re all buggered. Thankfully, so far it doesn’t seem to be.
