The ACT is on track to become the first jurisdiction to reach 60 per cent of its residents over 16 being fully vaccinated against COVID.
It comes as the vaccine rollout hit a major milestone on Friday, with half of the nation's population aged over 16 receiving both doses.
While the national capital is leading the country in terms of the rollout on both first and second dose, NSW is not far behind.
The most populous state now has more than 84 per cent of its over-16s having a first dose and almost 58 per cent being fully vaccinated.
The latest vaccine figures also showed the Northern Territory being the latest jurisdiction to cross the 50 per cent threshold for those over 16 getting both doses.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt said there were 347,796 Australians who received a vaccine on Thursday, the single largest day of the vaccine rollout since the first jab was administered in February.
The figures also showed that 68 per cent of over-50s and 76 per cent of over-70s were fully immunised.
As Victoria tries to keep its COVID outbreak under control, the state registered more than 100,000 new vaccines in the past day.
Health Minister Martin Foley said Victoria would be able to reach first-dose targets within days.
Victoria has 76 per cent of over-16s having had their first dose, while 46 per cent have had both doses.
While most of the national figures have centred on those over the age of 16, those in the 12 to 15 age bracket have also started taking up the vaccine in large numbers.
The head of the national vaccine rollout, Lieutenant General John Frewen, said almost one-quarter of 12 to 15-year-olds have got a vaccine since eligibility to the age group opened two weeks ago.
He said supplies of the Pfizer vaccine were expected to arrive as scheduled going forward.
"We are receiving the nine million doses that we expect in October, that is the assurance we have had." Lt General Frewen said.
"There will nine million doses of Pfizer in each month for the rest of the year."
It's expected there will be three million doses of the Moderna vaccines, which will be used as part of a rollout in pharmacies, arriving each month.
Vaccine statistics have showed Queensland and Western Australia have some of the slowest take-up rates in the country.
Both states have a first-dose rate of 62 per cent of over-16s, and have similar rates for second doses at 44 per cent.
