Millions of Victorians have been told to download the Victoria Service app to link their vaccination certificate ahead of the state reopening on Thursday night as the government announced a 4,000 person concert to celebrate the end of lockdown.
Technology has been hailed by the Victorian government as the"ticket" out of the coronavirus pandemic.
"It has been a fantastic take-up," Minister for Creative Industries Danny Pearson told the press conference. Victoria is predicted to hit the 70 per cent double dose milestone between Wednesday and Thursday night, triggering a number of freedoms for residents who have endured the longest lockdown of any city or country in the world.
A record number of vaccines were administered with state hubs inoculating 38,881 people while more than 61,000 residents rolled up their sleeves at GPs and pharmacies on Tuesday. Mr Pearson also announced Victoria's comeback concert at Myer Music Bowl on October 30 will be open to 4,000 punters.
