Status numbers

The article cites the vaccine tracker, which shows the vaccination rate at 70.8%. Yet, there are two status of 92% and 80.5%. What are these numbers? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kallax (talk • contribs) 22:40, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kallax:, Can you please elaborate on which status numbers you are talking about? Thanks Lucifer Jatt (talk) 03:25, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Choice of first dose scale in graph

The scale goes from zero to 12M+ in increments of 2 million. The highest population of a state or territory is ~8 million (NSW), so it's not possible to reach 10M, 12M, or 12M+ in any state or territory. --The Elysian Vector Fields (talk) 23:01, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Its cumulative vaccination figures do not represent the first dose figures. I hope this will clear your concerns. Lucifer Jatt (talk) 04:40, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

-Is there any good reason we are using:

-* {{tlx|flag|Australian Capital Territory}}, rendering as {{flag|Australian Capital Territory}} <br>
-in the table in the [[COVID-19 vaccination in Australia#Vaccination rollout by states and territory|Vaccination rollout by states and territory]] section? <br>
-The only diff I can see is the flag is a ''little'' smaller done the second way.  [[user:220 of Borg|'''220''']] [[Special:Contributions/220 of Borg|''<small>of</small>'']] <sup>[[User talk:220 of Borg|''ßorg'']]</sup> 04:51, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
-: {{Ping|220 of Borg}} I've just removed the flags anyways since they violate [[MOS:FLAGRELEVANCE]] - this article has nothing to do with the actual regionality of Australia, so I don't believe sub-national flags should be used. I may be wrong though, so feel free to revert and change it to {{Tl|Flag}}. [[User:ItsPugle|ItsPugle]] <small>(please [[:Template:ping|ping]] on reply)</small> 04:54, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
-::{{ping|ItsPugle}} No, I thought that they were misplaced was likely too. They just looked messy IMHO. Too ''many'' flags used, too many flag ''templates'' too IMHO, again. <br>The 'ListFlag' version isn't used much, <200? the other, over 550,000!

-Also do you think some of the doses included in the totals are second doses and do you think any sources are distinguishing them as first/second doses? [[User:HelperAnt|HelperAnt]] ([[User talk:HelperAnt|talk]]) 01:33, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
