More than 600 local residents remain unvaccinated

*Dennis Toop* *was one of the first Toodyay residents to be vaccinated against Covid-19 at the Alma Beard Medical Centre in Stirling Terrace last April*.

MORE 600 Toodyay residents are estimated to have no vaccine protection against the global Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.

A further 1100 local people are estimated to have only partial protection.

National public health figures published on November 28 for 137 WA local government areas ranked Toodyay as having the 16th lowest record for fully vaccinated residents.

No figures were available for a further 49 WA country shires and towns.

The State Government says borders will remain shut until 90 per cent of West Australians are fully vaccinated.

WA will then move from excluding the virus to allowing community transmission within the state, including in Toodyay.
