Over two thirds of Victorians who died from Covid-19 this year had received at least one vaccination jab – but were still killed by the virus.
Statistics released by the Victorian government showed that 68 per cent of people who died with Covid in 2022 were vaccinated.
But less than a third of those who died were unvaccinated.
However medics warn the figures are not quite as they seem.
Just four per cent of the Victorian population aged 16 and over is unvaccinated – which means the 32 per cent dying unvaxxed is eight times higher than it should be.
