Australia is at 25% first dose and 7% second dose. We too can be in Singapore’s position when we reach similar coverage levels, whenever that will be.....
i suspect we will be at about 70% around Feb or March next year at which point all measures should be dropped. Masks, QR codes, lockdowns and the international borders should be swung open to all regardless of their vaccination status. The whole point of a mass vaccination program is to immunise the population. We don’t bring in any measures for flu even in bad years and once we get to around 70% of the total population, which would mean 100% of the most vulnerable, then WuHu flu should be treated exactly the same as normal flu.
