That's a great result for NSW and is continuing a good trend.

Clearly the vaccination push has made significant impact to the numbers. I see that other states, especially those who are not as significantly impacted by case numbers, are lagging behind the vaccination rates. Dose allocations (ie Sydney as a priority during their outbreak) would have had a part to play in that, but there is clearly a case of "if it's not in my backyard, I don't need to worry" about this, as identified by the Queensland Premier:

QLD: The Premier is asked why vaccination rates are lower in some areas of Queensland
Annastacia Palaszczuk says she believes the rates are lower in some regions because they haven't had outbreaks like Brisbane, where rates are higher.

She says the government is proactively targeting areas where rates are low.

The Queensland CHO states that it is coming, no matter where you are:

QLD: Queensland CHO warns that Delta is coming
Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young has echoed the Premier's message, saying it "won't be long" until the Delta coronavirus variant is detected in Queensland again.

"We will see the Delta variant come in and we won't be able to control it," she says.

Dr Young says the best thing for Queenslanders to do right now is go and get vaccinated if you haven't already.

If you're in a state that hasn't been impacted greatly by covid to date, and you aren't vaccinated yet, get in now and do it BEFORE covid arrives on your doorstep.

These stats alone should convince you:

VIC: 84 per cent of current outbreak were unvaccinated
COVID-19 commander Jeroen Weimar says that Victoria has had 25,000 cases since the middle of July when the current outbreak started.

He says 84 per cent of those were unvaccinated, while 11 per cent had one dose of the vaccine.

Only 5 per cent were fully vaccinated.

"Whilst the vaccine doesn't make you immune from catching COVID, it massively reduces the risk of you catching COVID and handing it on to another person and massively reduces the risk of ending up in hospital," he says.
