Only half of the appointments at Springfield’s pop-up vaccination centre remain available as newly eligible residents heed the Queensland Government’s call to get the jab.
Queensland Health confirmed the clinic, which opened at Springfield Tower this weekend as part of a wider vaccine blitz, still had a number of spots available as of Sunday.
A total 626 vaccines, however, have been administered since the clinic launched on June 5.
Operated under Mater Health, the free community clinic will remain open for about six weeks with plans to administer a total of 18,000 vaccinations by mid-July.
It comes after Health Minister Yvette D’Ath announced the widening of eligibility on Thursday, calling for aged care and disability workers, other frontline healthcare workers and people aged 40 – 49 to come forward and roll up their sleeves.
