Australia Ranked Dead Last In The OECD For Vaccination Rates

The short fallings of Australia’s vaccine rollout are becoming more and more obvious, as new data shows we are ranked dead-last amongst OECD countries. With less than 5% of the population vaccinated, Australia is one of the developed world’s worst performers. Currently, vaccination rates are being led by Israel, Chile, and Iceland, who have 60%, 54%, and 52% respectively of their population fully vaccinated. Despite their large size, even the US has over 45% of their population fully vaccinated. New Zealand, with 7.9% of the population fully vaccinated, is second last.

Unfortunately, Australia only backed a few vaccines unlike most OECD, and have experienced supply issues with the successful candidates. Now, the Delta variant is running rampant in the largely unvaccinated population. If Australia wants to be a COVID-19 success story again, we need to get vaccinated, and quickly.
