This week, the state government released vaccination data based on postcode.

Of the eligible population in the 2650 area, between 50 and 59 per cent of people have had one dose, and between 30 and 39 per cent are fully vaccinated.

There have been roughly 37,000 vaccinations administered in total.

Dr Shenouda, who runs Wagga's vaccination hub at Glenrock Country Practice, predicts that around 60 per cent of people locally have had their first jab.

IN OTHER NEWS:

He believes this is a good indication Wagga will soon have 60 per cent of people fully vaccinated, because most people who have their first shot also come forward for their second.

The wait period between doses is three weeks for Pfizer, and 12 weeks for AstraZeneca.

"We are fully booked in the clinic," Dr Shenouda said.

"This is another measurement to give you a feel that people are interested in getting the vaccine."

He added that more people are coming forward for the AstraZeneca jab than in the past, especially young people, who are watching more and more of their peers in Sydney get the vaccine.

"People are realising that this is not a game that they want to play," he said.

"The numbers increasing in Sydney is proof that our only hope for the future is vaccinating as much people as we can."

Dr Shenouda said he noticed a bit of complacency around the vaccine in Wagga when it first became available, but the growing outbreak of the Delta strain is changing people's attitude.

"My reading to those numbers, and with what I see on the ground, is that we are going on the positive rather negative," he added.

Dr Shenouda also said there is "no indication" that Wagga's vaccine hub is facing problems with supply.

Pfizer and AstraZeneca is both readily available, and the options will soon be increasing when Moderna comes to Australia.

He also said that while most people who attend the vaccination hub are kind and respectful, there are still some issues around people feeling "entitled" to Pfizer who are not yet eligible.

Dr Shenouda acknowledges that people are stressed, but said this is not an excuse to treat staff poorly, who are "very proud" of the work they are doing.

He said that Pfizer needed to be prioritised for those who most need it.

"We need to work together as a community," Dr Shenouda said. "It's not about me, it's about the community."
