Under the Victoria's roadmap, almost all restrictions will end for fully vaccinated people when 90 per cent of those 12 and over are double dosed - a milestone forecast on or around November 24.
The change in emphasis has prompted the Department of Health to start reporting the daily vaccination uptake of Victorians aged 12 and over, instead of those 16 and up, from Thursday.
Premier Daniel Andrews pressed the importance of people following up with their second dose vaccine booking to prevent serious illness.
"Ninety-five or 96 per cent of the people in hospital who are gravely ill have not had a first or a second dose," he told reporters in Ballarat.
