A NEW Covid-19 mass vaccination hub for the Northern Territory is set to open in Darwin on Wednesday.
Health Minister Natasha Fyles announced this morning the hub, which will operate out of the Italian Club building in Marrara, will open on Wednesday.
The launch of the new facility will coincide with the Royal Darwin Hospital vaccination hub being closed to the public, though staff will be still be able to get vaccinated there.
It comes after the NT reached a vaccine milestone today with more than 100,000 Territorians having received at least one Covid-19 jab - about 36 per cent of the population.
Ms Fyles said she was pleased to see so many Territorians doing their bit to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
“I would like to thank Territorians for rolling up their sleeves to be vaccinated,” she said.
“We have seen a number of Territorians receive a second dose, and around 16 per cent of our population is fully vaccinated.”
