80% of QLD residents aged 16 and over are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19, as per a statement from the Premier this morning.

It comes as the state prepares to reopen its borders to fully vaccinated interstate travelers beginning next Monday.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk in a statement has said that ‘Very few places in the world have got to this level of protection before a COVID wave arrives… But we can’t stop here. Let’s get to 90 per cent and beyond. Please – get vaccinated.’
