NSW has reached its first vaccine milestone of six million jabs delivered as the state recorded 753 new Covid cases and no further deaths.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said she would announce on "Thursday or Friday" what extra freedom fully vaccinated NSW residents would be given from September as a result.

Ms Berejiklian said getting to six million jabs was "an amazing milestone."

"That equates to 60 per cent of our population across the state with at least one dose and around 30 per cent of the population double dosed," she said.
