Approx 7% of the popuation in Oz and 12% in NZ have been fully vaccinated.
They have been very successful thus far in limiting covid spread, and hugely deficient and/or complacent in organising a vaccine rollout.
They cannot adopt the same policies as they UK - if the Delta variant (which is already there) gets into general circulation the consequences would be horrendous due to the speed of transmission.
So they have no choice but to have continued restrictions in place - and this may last for several more months until they rollout sufficient vaccines.
