Latest COVID health data shows local government areas with highest and lowest vaccination rates

The highest first dose rate in any LGA was 86.9 per cent. (ABC News: Mark Leonardi)

As part of the government's reporting on how the vaccine rollout is going around the country, it's now releasing more detailed information about vaccination rates by Local Government Area (LGA).

Previously, it was broken down by geographic areas and was a little broader than the information we have now.

The data means we have a somewhat clearer picture of how the vaccine rollout is progressing.

But unlike before, where remote areas in each jurisdiction were roughly grouped together, this time there is a large swathe of LGAs considered remote or very remote that the department isn't providing vaccine rates for.

Again, this data doesn't provide details on the average age of each area (which impacts the number of people who are eligible) or the supply rates of the vaccines.

Below is a state-by-state breakdown of the latest figures. If you'd like to look at the full list of LGAs you can find them here and the rest of the previous data sets from the Department of Health here.
