Vaccination rates by region:

Here's an easier to read version of the newly published vaccination data by SA4 region.

These are the raw figures, I have not adjusted for the age profiles of each of these regions. You would expect younger areas to have lower vax rates at this point.

In my controvertial opinion, of all those that end up in ICU or worse, vast majority will be contracted from health care workers.  Lockdowns aren't going to prevent this kind of high risk transmission. Has been that way since the first outbreak. May bring down case numbers in low risk community transmission which eventually will reduce the risk in healthcare settings, but it's the wrong end of the stick, very inefficient.
