[Epoch Times, February 18, 2022](The Epoch Times reporter Tian Rui, Australia, Sydney, Australia) More than half of the NSW population over the age of 16 has received a third dose of the COVID-19 (CCP virus) vaccine.
On February 18, the Department of Health confirmed the vaccination programme had just reached a milestone, with 50.3 per cent of NSW residents over the age of 16 having received three shots.
Currently, the interval between the second and third doses of the vaccine is 3 months. 54.4% of vaccinators who met the interval rule received a third shot.
Among children aged 12 to 15, 83.6% had received at least one shot of the vaccine and 78.9% had received two shots.
Children aged 5 to 11 were approved for the vaccine last month, and 46.1% had already received a Pfizer shot.
The government has eased a series of restrictions ahead of schedule as the outbreak in NSW eases.
Of the 15 deaths reported by the NSW Department of Health on the 18th, 2 had received 3 shots of the vaccine, 8 had received two shots, and 5 had not been vaccinated. ◇
