Fully vaccinated Australians in the locked-down state of New South Wales (NSW) will be offered more “freedoms” from September after the target of six million CCP virus vaccine doses was achieved, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced on Aug. 24.

“That equates to 60 percent of our population across the state having at least one dose and around 32 percent of the population double dosed,” she told reporters in Sydney.
