Health Minister Natasha Fyles said that in the six months since the launch of the vaccine rollout they had already hit the halfway mark of getting every Territorian fully vaccinated.

"We know the fastest way to get life to go back to normal is to ensure as many Territorians are vaccinated as possible and I want to thank everyone for rolling up their sleeves and doing their bit," she said.

"We will continue to focus on lifting vaccination rates in our remote communities and tighten our focus and with community leaders and health educators to achieve an even spread of vaccination.

Territorians have been rolling up their sleeves in droves since 100,000 extra appointments were made available last month due to an increased supply of vaccines.
