There has been an intensified push to get far North Queenslanders vaccinated ahead of the border's reopening. 

A pop-up clinic in Cairns Central opened on Saturday in a bid to ensure QLD hits the 80 per cent target in December. 478 doses were administered. 

To ensure the state reaches the target, Queensland’s Deputy Premier Steven Miles announced pop-up clinics will open at 20 surf life-saving locations across the state.
