Melton and Moorabol residents have succeeded in reaching over 90 per cent double vaccination.

Moorabool hit over 95 per cent as of November 15, making the area fully vaccinated for a fortnight.

Melton this week reached 93.9 per cent, a 2.7 per cent increase from last week.

This makes the area well on its way to exceeding 95 per cent.

As a state, Victoria is at 89.2 per cent of over 16 year olds fully vaccinated.

Despite not reaching the 90 per cent threshold, Victorians were relieved of most restrictions last week.

There are almost no restrictions for fully vaccinated residents, with masks still mandatory in settings where social distancing is not possible.
