Starting Monday, the Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance NT will begin their 6-week vaccination drive to vaccinate at least 90% of the Indigenous community.

John Paterson the chief executive of the organisation said that the Northern Territory shouldn’t accept less than 90-95% of Indigenous Territorians being vaccinated against Covid-19.

While this is higher than the national vaccination target, Paterson is hopeful this will be achieved as Indigenous communities are particularly vulnerable to Covid-19.
