South Australia's Nepabunna community has hit the 80% vaccination rate

A small Aboriginal community in South Australia’s Flinders’ Ranges has reached a double vaccination rate of 80%, well ahead of the rest of the state.

Over 90% of locals in Nepabunna have received one dose of the vaccine thanks to the Royal Flying Doctor’s service.

The government provided funds to bring the airfield up to safe standards as it was not safe for aircrafts to operate out of.

Nepabunna Community Aboriginal Corporation chief executive, Dave Petersen, said "We're ahead of the rest of South Australia in many ways, on a small scale, in our vaccination rate.”
