More than 89% of the Bailiwick's adult population is fully-vaccinated and 58% of 16-17 year olds have had at least one dose.
The vaccination programme in Guernsey began on 17 December 2020, when Dr Sue Fleming became the first islander to be immunised.
Appointment and drop-in clinics continue to be offered to those who are not yet double-jabbed.
The authorities recently confirmed that they are preparing to run a booster programme, starting in September or October.
