A little more than half of senior Australians eligible for their fourth COVID-19 vaccination have received it.

Federal government figures released on Thursday show 52.2 per cent of the eligible population aged 65 and over have received their fourth jab for the virus, equating to more than 1.6 million people.

That was up 1.6 per cent on the same time last week.

In total and accounting for those aged under 65, more than 1.8 million Australians have received at least four doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

People become eligible for their winter booster four months after their third vaccine dose.
