The state is also among the top three states and territories when it comes to complete vaccinations, with about 5 per cent or 22,598 Tasmanians having received their second dose of either the Pfizer or AstraZeneca jabs.

However, there is still a long way to go.

The Victorian outbreak has resulted in a significant surge in the number of Tasmanians rolling up their sleeves to get a COVID jab.

In the week since Tasmania closed its borders, the state has experienced an almost 5 per cent increase in the number of vaccines being administered daily.

Experts say the outbreak has served as a wake-up call that the vaccine remains our greatest line of defence, but concerns around complacency remain.

Today, The Examiner is imploring all eligible Tasmanians to book in for a COVID-19 vaccination. Getting the jab will safeguard the most vulnerable in our community.

Premier Peter Gutwein says Tasmanians should be incredibly proud of themselves, but everyone needs to get behind the effort.

"This is one of the largest health logistical exercises in our state's history, and the progress so far is a credit to all involved, with Tasmania consistently leading the way," he said.

"But the job is not done. I want to ensure we continue leading the nation on our COVID-19 vaccination rates. I want every eligible Tasmanian to book an appointment, roll up their sleeve and get a COVID-19 jab - to protect themselves, their family and the community."

Public Health Director Dr Mark Veitch yesterday confirmed Tasmania's travel restrictions and quarantine requirements for Victoria will remain in place, as the state enters its second week of a debilitating lockdown.

Mr Gutwein is expected to provide an update on the situation today following a national cabinet meeting.

But despite the positive uptake of the vaccine to date, questions put to the state government around its target to see all Tasmanians fully vaccinated against COVID-19 remain unanswered.

Meanwhile, criticisms around the breakdown of communication at a state and federal level around the rollout continue to grow.
