More than one-third of the record 832,000 vaccines administered across the country last week were given in Victoria.
More than 327,000 doses were administered through state and Commonwealth clinics in Victoria, with 59 per cent of people aged over 70 and 43 per cent aged over 50 having now received at least one dose of a vaccine.
The state has more than 640,000 doses of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines available, Vaccine Operations Centre boss Commodore Eric Young said.
There are approximately 320,000 doses of vaccine available in state hubs, and another 325,000 doses of vaccine available across the primary care network in Victoria, he said.
Last week the federal government distributed more than 920,000 doses of vaccines across the country, and this week will be even bigger.
This week will be our biggest week; 1.1 million doses will be distributed to 2500 locations across the country, he said.
Australias Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly encouraged all eligible Australians to get vaccinated.
Many more people are now eligible in Australia to get vaccinated. I really encourage anyone who is in any of those groups that are now eligible to be vaccinated, to get out there, roll up your sleeve and get the jab, he said.
