South-west Victoria tipped to hit 90 per cent double dose target by next week

The region is likely to hit 90 per cent double dose by next Monday, and 95 per cent by the following week.

South West Coast MP Roma Britnell said it was "brilliant" to see all three municipalities in her electorate above 95 per cent first dose and above 80 per cent fully vaccinated as of today.

"I couldn't be prouder of my community's response," Ms Britnell said.

Federal COVID-19 vaccination data released Monday October 25 shows all the south-west local government areas have passed the 95 per cent single dose vaccination target.

In Warrnambool 86.8 per cent of the population over 15 are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, or 28,859 members of the community.

In Moyne Shire 83.3 per cent are double dosed (13,498) and in Corangamite Shire 83.5 per cent (13,141) are fully vaccinated.

Glenelg Shire 80.1 per cent are double dosed (16,561) Colac-Otway 79 per cent (17,696) and Southern Grampians 83.5 per cent (13,285).

Vaccination rates continue to climb among the region's Indigenous communities, but double dose numbers are still almost 24 per cent lower than the broader population.

82.06 per cent of the Indigenous population in Warrnambool and the south-west have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccination and 59.61 per cent of the population is double dosed.

Broken down, 1276 of Warrnambool and the south-west's 1555 registered Indigenous community members over 15 have had one dose, and 927 are fully vaccinated.

It comes as the state government on Monday announced mobile vaccination vans operated by the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) are being deployed to Warrnambool and the Grampians next week.

Statewide, close to 80 per cent of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Victorians aged 12 and over have had one vaccine dose, compared to 90 per cent of the wider population. When it comes to second doses, 58 per cent of eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are fully vaccinated, compared to 71 per cent of the state's total population.
