Three-quarters of eligible Western Australians have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with the state becoming the country's last jurisdiction to pass the 75 per cent milestone.
While WA has given 75.1 per cent of residents a second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine as of Saturday, over 85 per cent have had a single jab.
However, the state still lags behind the rest of the country, with the lowest immunisation rate in Australia. Queensland has 75.7 per cent of its population double-jabbed, and the Northern Territory is sightly ahead again with 75.9 per cent.
