"My brother and his fiancé live in Sydney and I haven't seen them for months, and I really miss them. I feel like the sooner everyone can get vaccinated, the sooner we'll all be able to go and see our loved ones," Ms Yates said.

Andy Battaglini said he was apprehensive about getting a COVID-19 vaccine, and up until midway through the year he was happy to let others go first for their jab.

"I think now seeing that a lot of people who have been vaccinated are not getting sick - and a lot of the people who actually are getting sick and even dying, are the people who are unvaccinated - that kind of changed my mind a bit," he said.

"It's important to get in there and get it done, and seeing all the impacts it's having on businesses and students who can't go and study. I feel like it's important we all go and get vaccinated as quick as we can."

Ms Yates, 33, and Mr Battaglini, 34, are among the growing number of Canberrans aged 30 to 39 who have rolled up their sleeves for the Pfizer vaccine.

More than 223,000 Covid vaccinations have been administered so far in the ACT, while 90 per cent of people aged 30 to 39 in the ACT have either received their first jab or are booked to do so.

More than 40 per cent of Canberrans aged 16 and above had both doses of a Covid vaccine, while almost 64 per cent have had their first dose.

Nurses Daisy Pun and Courtney Mackin have been administering vaccines at the mass vaccination hub at Garran, and say it's exciting to see people arming themselves each day against the virus.

"[Canberrans'] attitudes towards coming here are just phenomenal. The amount of gestures and kind words we receive is super nice," Ms Mackin said.

Ms Pun said, "You get to see so many people sharing the experience with each other, it's really good."

Ms Mackin said being on the frontline of a pandemic response was a rewarding experience, but certainly not what she had in mind when she became a nurse.

"[It's] strange [at the moment] but it'll be nice to look back on when it all simmers over and be like, 'Oh, I did that. I had a helping hand'," she said.

Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith said the ACT was focused on getting as many people vaccinated in the next three months as possible.

"With more than 200,000 Canberrans having received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine it's really encouraging to see so many people, particularly younger Canberrans, booking in their vaccination as soon as they can," Ms Stephen-Smith said.

The ACT reported 13 new cases of COVID-19 to 8pm on Saturday, with all new cases linked to known cases or outbreaks.

Eight people were in quarantine for the entire infectious period.

There are 10 people in hospital with coronavirus, including one woman in her 40s in intensive care.

All of the patients in hospital - including four people aged under 40 - were unvaccinated.

A total of 250 cases have been detected since the start of Canberra's current outbreak, although 20 of those people have now recovered.

Chief Minister Andrew Barr on Sunday said the ACT government was well advanced in its thinking for a vaccine booster shot program.

"We're going to have to step almost immediately into doing the booster shots for those who were first vaccinated, many months ago. It's going to be a continuous program of vaccination," Mr Barr said.

"Because it's not just about hitting those 70, 80, 90, 95 per cent vaccination targets, it's about maintaining the level of community vaccination at those levels into the future."

The South Canberra area has the highest rate of complete vaccination coverage, data released by the federal government on Sunday showed.

Nearly 52 per cent of residents in South Canberra - which includes Yarralumla, Deakin, Forrest, Griffith, Kingston, Narrabundah and Red Hill - have had both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Weston Creek has the highest rate of first dose vaccination take up, with 74.8 per cent of people aged 15 and over having had one dose.

Canberra East, which is sparsely populated but includes Oaks Estate and Pialligo, has the lowest vaccination coverage, with just 35.3 per cent of residents having had one vaccine and 21 per cent having had both shots.

Mr Barr said the variation in vaccination rates reflected the different age demographics of the suburbs, and ruled out varying levels of restrictions for different parts of Canberra based on vaccination take up.

The ACT government will move its mass vaccination clinic from the Garran surge centre to the AIS Arena at Bruce from Friday.

The move will increase the number of jabs the ACT can administer each week, in advance of an expected increase to Pfizer supplies.
