Melbourne, Australia: the most locked down city in the world, that endured 262 days of lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic, shifted to have one the highest vaccinated rates (90%) in the world by late 2021 (source: CSIRO).

People waited patiently in the queue - with the recommended 1.5 metres physical distancing.
