The total number of vaccines administered in NSW is now 16,353,713 with 4,857,072 doses administered by NSW Health to 8pm last night and 11,496,641 administered by the GP network, pharmacies and other providers to 11:59pm on Thursday 10 February 2022.

NSW Health encourages everyone who is eligible to receive a vaccination or their booster dose to book into a NSW Health vaccination clinic or another provider without delay through the COVID-19 vaccine clinic finder.


Sadly, NSW Health is reporting the deaths of 32 people with COVID-19; 25 men and seven women. Eleven of these deaths have been included following the conclusion of coronial investigations – these 11 deaths occurred from 22 January through to 5 February.
