First doses of vaccine have hit 92.5 per cent in adults, while the double vaccination percentage has climbed to 82.3 per cent.
NSW chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant has indicated she will be particularly interested in next week's case numbers as an indicator of how much the end of lockdown has influenced the spread of the virus in NSW.
