ACT health authorities are leading a renewed push to get more of Canberra's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population vaccinated, following new Indigenous COVID figures.
Since the start of the Delta outbreak in the capital in August, 11 per cent of all COVID-19 cases have identified as Indigenous.
Indigenous people represent just under two per cent of the ACT population.
Of the 179 Indigenous COVID cases in Canberra, 151 of those were unvaccinated.
However, 63 of those COVID cases were under 12, and not eligible for a vaccine.
Culturally safe pop-up vaccine clinics and in-reach testing have been set up in Canberra to help boost the Indigenous vaccination rate.
The chief executive of Canberra Indigenous health organisation Winnunga Nimmityjah, Julie Tongs, said boosting the vaccine rate was critical.
"We don't want people to die. We've done very well but we may not do well forever," she said.
"The more people that can be vaccinated, the better."
ACT Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith said while the ACT had the highest overall vaccination rate in the country, more work was needed.
"What we're really trying to do is make sure we get in to that last pocket of the community where people don't always access mainstream medical services," Ms Stephen-Smith said.
"There have also been targeted communication activities encouraging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to get vaccinated."
Nationally, the Indigenous vaccine rate is well behind that of the general population.
About half of all Indigenous Australians eligible for the vaccine have received both doses, compared to more than 77 per cent of the national population over 16.
It comes after eight new COVID cases were reported in the ACT in the latest reporting period.
The number of COVID patients in Canberra hospitals has declined from eight to seven in the past day.
However, there was an increase in the number of patients being treated in intensive care, rising from three to four, with all four being on ventilators.
The vaccination rate for ACT residents aged 12 and over now sits at 93.2 per cent.
In their weekly epidemiological update, health authorities said 90 per cent of the cases in Canberra since the start of the Delta outbreak in August were not fully vaccinated.
The remaining 10 per cent were breakthrough cases among those who had been vaccinated.
An ACT Health spokesman said the the five-day case average in the ACT continues to fall and is now below five.
At its peak at the beginning of October, the five-day average was more than 40.
There are now 153 active cases in the Canberra community.
