NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has launched a state-wide booster campaign in a bid to increase the booster shot uptake. 9News

NSW is lagging behind other states and territories in its booster shot uptake, with only around 47 percent of eligible residents having received their third dose.

"What's happened to that 50 percent? Why aren't they out and about getting their boosters?" Mr Hazzard said.NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has made an appeal for all eligible residents to get their booster shot."It is much less likely that you'll end up being ill, it's much less likely that you will end up in hospital, much less likely that you will end up in ICU and, of course, much less likely that you will die.

Mr Hazzard said he believed one of the main reasons people were not getting boosters was because people still thought they had to wait six months after their second COVID-19 vaccination to get their booster.

Yes, they have to close the sale.

1 retweet & a few comments! Every1 is over it from the looks of it! That’s why people aren’t getting boosters! Prices of everything has gone up! 8pck of toilet paper if u can find it is $12+ it’s ridiculous! Many think it’s a pile of crap & they’re going old school word of mouth.

Hazzard wonders why people aren't getting the third jab. Maybe it's because you told people that two was what we needed and now it's three. How many times will you change your mind you dropkick?

I think you might get more response if you actually had a vaccine that works the 1st time. Stop flogging snake oil.

Can we suggest now updating new findings on the Jab and booster being yet another failed human trial! revolting humanrights civilrights

I can tell you what's happened to that 50% Mr Hazzard. They were coerced and bullied into getting their first 2 doses. Don't you for one second sit there and pretend you don't know what's going on.

BradHazzard Dom_Perrottet A lot of younger people only just became eligible and have to wait for appointments! I booked appointments for my family ages ago and the first available appointments were for this week!

What’s wrong I was at the cricket and watching Netflix. Did something happen? Did Barnaby send another drunken text to that church guy?

Wait for it…. 2nd booster required

When's the 2nd booster coming?

Get serious and start doing door 2 door boosters , because I know that homebound disabled are having trouble getting their GPs to come to their homes to give them their boosters.

1 2 3 here come the anti vaxxers.
