The Territory Labor Government's vaccine rollout has hit the six month mark and delivered outstanding results with 60 per cent of eligible Territorians having received their first dose of the vaccine.
More than 40 per cent of Territorians are fully vaccinated with over 189,000 doses administered since February.
Last week's lockdown for Greater Darwin and Katherine prompted a massive increase in vaccine appointments, with more than 5,000 bookings made and over 6,000 doses administered by NT Health clinics.
In remote areas serviced by NT Health, 29 per cent of eligible Territorians are fully vaccinated and more than 46 per cent have received their first dose.
This week, NT Health will be vaccinating remote communities including Elliott, Minjilang, Papunya, and Wadeye.
Last week the Territory Labor Government expanded the vaccine rollout to eligible Territorians between the ages of 12 and 15.
All Territorians aged 12 or above who live outside Greater Darwin are eligible for the vaccine.
In Greater Darwin, children aged 12-15 are currently eligible for the vaccine if they have a medical condition that increases the risk of severe COVID-19 infection or if they are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders.
