Ninety-eight per cent of more than 92,000 school staff surveyed in Victoria have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 85.5 per cent have had both doses, a government spokeswoman confirmed on Wednesday.
But 1221 staff are yet to produce evidence they have been vaccinated, and a further 166 have indicated they have not been vaccinated and have not made a booking.
All school workers were required to have a first dose by October 18 or a booking by October 25, and need to be fully vaccinated by November 29, unless they have a medical exemption.
They will not be able to return to school if unvaccinated.
As of Tuesday, 89.2 per cent of Victorians aged over 16 have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while 69.3 per cent are fully vaccinated.
