Restrictions

Visiting restrictions are now in place for aged care facilities, disability services and hospitals in the Logan Local Government area.

Vaccinations

The COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to protect against severe COVID-19 disease and is a critical step in combatting the virus.

We will only reach vaccination targets and a pathway out of the pandemic if people come forward and get vaccinated.

We continue to enhance access to the vaccine through increased capacity, extended hours and pop up clinics for at risk communities.

We encourage anyone who is eligible to take the opportunity to be vaccinated at a nearby community vaccination centre or participating primary care provider, such as GPs and community pharmacies.

You can register your interest for the vaccine at a Queensland Health vaccination location by completing the online Register for vaccination form. You will then receive a unique invitation email to enable you to make a booking when appointments become available in your region.

You can also use the Federal Government’s Vaccine Eligibility Checker to find out if you are eligible and when and where you can receive a vaccine at your nearest GP or community pharmacy.
