New data from James Cook and Monash university shows that for Australia to reach herd immunity, teenagers need to get the Covid-vaccine.
85% of the total population needs to be vaccinated to reach herd immunity.
It is expected that tougher restrictions will ease when 70-80% of the national population is vaccinated.
From next Monday, September 13th, Pfizer vaccines will be available for children aged 12 to 15.
