Elderly first jab rate may be 80 per cent in Umina

Figures of vaccination rates released by the NSW Government last week imply that as many as 80 per cent of people in the 2257 postcode area over the age of 50 have received their first coronavirus vaccination.

According to the NSW Government's "Find the facts about Covid-19" website, about two thirds of people ("60-69 per cent") over the age of 15 in the Peninsula postcodes of 2256 and 2257 have had a vaccination by August 19.

About one half of those people have had a second vaccination.

It stated that a total of about 22,500 vaccinations had been given in the 2257 postcode area, which had an "eligible population" over the age of 15 of about 25,000.

About 16,500 vaccinations were given to people over 50 and 6500 to people under 50.

Based on the Peninsula's population profile, this could mean that around 80 per cent of people over 50 in the 2256 postcode area had received at least one shot and 40 per cent of people under 50, with the figures for two shots being half these rates.

In the 2256 postcode area, 12,500 vaccinations had been given to an eligible population of 13,600.

About 8500 vaccinations were given to people over 50 and 3500 to people under 50.

This could mean that around 75 per cent of people over 50 and 40 per cent of people under 50 in the 2256 postcode area had received at least one vaccination, with figures for two shots being half these rates.

The website does not give a precise breakdown of the numbers.

Percentages vaccinated are listed in 10 per cent ranges, eg 60-69 per cent.

Numbers of vaccinations are listed within a range of 1000, eg 6000-6999.

The age profile for Peninsula postcodes was not given on the website, but taken from Bureau of Statistics figures.
