The Torres Strait was the first region in Australia to be offered the jab in order to fortify the region against neighbouring Papua New Guinea.
However, figures show only fifty percent of eligible people in the Torres and Cape region are double vaccinated, far behind state and national averages.
Many fears are circulating such as sickness or reaction, conspiracy theories or the belief Covid-19 will not affect them.
Carol Thompson, a Torres Strait Aged Care Association volunteer says, "The misinformation is on Facebook and social media, which people just pass through because scary stuff is believed a lot up here."
