How will the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine work in Queensland? Here’s what we know so far
Queensland’s first COVID-19 jabs will be administered next week, beginning the gradual rollout of the long-awaited vaccine across the state.
Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young says “no-one will be missed” in the plan to offer the vaccine to all Queensland adults by the end of October.
Here’s how it will work.
Who will get vaccinated first and where?
The first 100 doses of the Pfizer vaccine will be administered on the Gold Coast on Monday as part of Phase 1a.
Hotel quarantine staff, border workers and frontline health care staff at risk of COVID-19 exposure, are the first in line.
“Over the next month, we plan to vaccinate every single one of those workers — there’s around 27,000 of them,” Dr Young said.
