Canberra is fast approaching 95 percent of its population aged 12 years and over fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
We top the nation with our rates and we’re one of the most vaccinated cities in the world!
To celebrate this milestone, we will be lighting up the city this weekend again.
You asked for it – more lights, more nights!
