Finally, some good news! Vaccine-happy Sydneysiders BOOK OUT every appointment for Pfizer at Sydney’s huge Olympic Park complex – here’s where you can still get a jab

Sydneysiders have managed to exhaust every appointment slot for a \ Pfizer jab at the city's largest vaccination hub, as enthusiastic locals do their bit to pull themselves out of lockdown.

NSW Health announced on Twitter that Sydney Olympic Park had been fully booked out for Pfizer vaccines as of Thursday afternoon. 

Premier Gladys Berejiklian has said the state is 'tracking well' to hit the ambitious target of six million jabs in arms by the end of August, with 4. 6million vaccines administered so far and 23.59 per cent of eligible residents fully vaccinated.

The health department has invited construction workers, tradespeople and apprentices to roll up their sleeves this weekend for 'Tradie Sunday'.

The targeted push will accommodate 8,000 essential workers who so far missed out on a jab in a desperate dash to get inoculated so they can return to work.

The priority vaccination appointments can only be booked by workers who are aged 16 years and over and live in the city's Covid-hit west and south-west. 

Tradespeople aged between 16-39 years were invited to book in for a Pfizer vaccine at the South Western Sydney Vaccination Clinic this Sunday. 

Workers aged 40 years or over will receive a priority AstraZeneca vaccine at Sydney Olympic Park or the Walk-in Prairiewood Vaccination Clinic.

Later on Thursday evening NSW Health made a post to Facebook to announce the 'big response' it had to Tradie Sunday as hundreds rushed to make appointments. 

The department added those aged 18 or over could still make appointments at Sydney Olympic Park or the Prairiewood clinic to receive an AstraZeneca dose. 

Construction was allowed to resume on Wednesday with tradespeople from the city's west and south west only allowed to return to work if they had received one dose of the vaccine. 

Under the strengthened new rules workers must be able to prove they are fully vaccinated or have had one dose within the last three weeks to return to sites. 

Staff must also produce a negative Covid-19 test result within 72 hours, while construction sites are only permitted to operate at a 50 per cent capacity with stronger Covid-safe measures in place.  

As Australia battles outbreaks in Sydney, Newcastle, Byron Bay, Dubbo and Canberra a new sense of urgency has driven vaccine rates through the roof. 

Australia administered a record 255,964 Covid-19 jabs in the past 24 hours as the nation's jab rollout finally gets up to speed.

The proportion of Australian adults fully vaccinated has now hit 23.73 per cent and 45.36 per cent have had at least one dose. 

NSW Health tweeted that Sydney Olympic Park had been fully booked for Pfizer jabs, after multiple Delta outbreaks across the state continues to drive vaccine rates

In the week to August 10, 257,227 more people in NSW received their second jab of either an AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccine, federal Department of Health data showed.  

The Covid-19 lockdowns in Victoria and Sydney have prompted thousands of under 40s to get the AstraZeneca vaccine which is only recommended for young people during an outbreak.

The Delta outbreak in Sydney's west and south-west has also seen more people get their first shot of AstraZeneca as others brought forward their second dose to the four to eight-week range, instead of waiting the recommended 12 weeks.

NSW has mandated vaccinations for construction workers from hotspot suburbs, with Victoria has set up drive-through vaccination clinics to make the jab as accessible for residents as possible. 

So far, just 24.4 per cent of people in Australia's biggest state are fully vaccinated and close to three million people still need to get a second Covid vaccine shot for 70 per cent of the population, aged 16 and over, to be properly protected.

One million doses of the 93 per cent effective Moderna jab will arrive in September and three million in each of October, November and December (pictured, a Sydney tradeswoman)

If the vaccination rate of the past week stayed constant, NSW would reach that goal on October 30, just before Halloween, in 11 weeks and four days. 

It comes after Australia's medical regulator approved the American Moderna vaccine, adding an extra 10 million doses to the nation's vaccine supply this year.

One million doses of the 93 per cent effective jab will arrive in September and three million in each of October, November and December. 

NSW recorded 345 new cases of Covid-10 and two deaths of men in their 90s on Thursday - as more suburbs were slapped with harsher restrictions in Sydney's west.

Of the new locally acquired cases, 128 are linked to a known case or cluster, 101 are household contacts and 27 are close contacts. There were 217 mystery cases.
