More Queenslanders are now eligible to get vital booster shots.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced that, from Monday 24 January, the period between second doses and the vital booster will now be three months instead of four.

More than 60 per cent of eligible Queenslanders have received their boosters.

“We know how vital the booster shot is,” the Premier said.

“It gives that extra immunity.

“Shortening the period between second doses and the booster will give more people more protection.”

The three-month gap is in line with health advice and other jurisdictions in Australia.
