Read time

05 June 2021


Thank you, Queensland - most of our vaccination centres today are fully booked including Logan Entertainment Centre, Rocklea Showgrounds and Springfield Tower.

Centres that are full will not accommodate walk ins unless it is for priority workers.

Up to 15,000 vaccinations are expected this weekend as community vaccination locations open across the state on Saturday and Sunday.

Queenslanders are reminded that registration is open to aged care and disability workers and people aged 40-49 years old.

People with bookings will take priority and anyone attending a vaccination location this weekend should have an appointment.

To have the opportunity to access these vaccination centres, people must register their interest and they will be invited to make an appointment if appointments are available in their location.

Once people make an appointment, they will receive a QR code via email.

People should bring the following along to their appointment:

  • Booking confirmation
  • Medicare card
  • Photo ID or employee ID (if relevant, for example for an aged care or disability care worker)
  • Information about any medical conditions they have or medications they are taking
  • Information about any vaccines they’ve had in the past 14 days or any previous COVID-19 vaccines they have had including the brand and date it was administered

People should wear a short sleeve shirt and are recommended to have a hat and sunscreen handy and bring a bottle of water.
