You have such stupid arguements over this. Go get a life who cant even respect people’s choice. their not your body!
One thing I cannot figure out is how is the Govt able to calculate the vaccination percentage? We've only just completed the census a month or so ago, but they've been coming up with these figures long before that. Surely they would have to rely on that data?
If it was the data from the census before that, it'd be 5 year old data that they're using!

So you reckon they use Medicare as the basis of the calculations? That would make sense since it is probably the closest thing they have to a "Universal ID" they have. They really ought to make this information clear though. Don't need to be a genius to realise that a percentage means nothing if you do not explain what the basis of that percentage is.Quote:

If you are not eligible for Medicare
If you don’t have a Medicare card, or are not eligible for Medicare, you can get your free vaccination at:
commonwealth vaccinations clinics
state or territory vaccination clinics
community pharmacies that are administering COVID-19 vaccines.
If you are not eligible for Medicare, general practice providers can still supply COVID-19 vaccines to you. Please check with your usual practice for where you can access the vaccine from. The vaccine will be delivered free of charge.
You can find a clinic and book a COVID-19 vaccination using the vaccine clinic finder.
You can also call the National Coronavirus and COVID-19 Vaccine Helpline on 1800 020 080 for more information. For interpreting services call 13 14 50.
Yeah, I know, defo can get the jab even if you're not covered by Medicare or private health. My question is, how do they figure out what percentage of the population has received the jab?Quote:

I'm betting that they must be using the 5 year old ABS data.
Number population / number of vaccine used dose 1Quote:

5 year old census data would be pretty useless. Practically nobody in my apartment block was here 5 years ago.
Why worry about how they calculate the numbers?
Just as long as those number keep going up and we can get out of this mess.
There's other sources with population numbers.
The current ABS
Electoral Commission
Medicare
Passport database
Immigration database
But yes, they would extrapolate data based on certain assumptions so nothing is ever 100% but ball park.
Everyone I know completed this year's cencus, even non residents.

Out of all those, Medicare would be the most up to date and comprehensive. You usually have to verify your address and contact details whenever you use the card, including getting vaxxed.
