Currently, 60.4 per cent of Queenslanders over the age of 16 have had two vaccine doses, with 74.9 per cent having had one dose., if Queensland keeps going on its current trajectory only 77.47 per cent of residents over the age of 16 will be fully vaccinated by December 17, when the state is set to reopen.
This means the state will likely hit its 90 per cent vaccination target in January, a milestone that will allow international arrivals to avoid quarantine.However, Flight Centre boss Graham Turner said lagging vaccination rates means the state could be forced to wait even longer before hitting that milestone.“Airlines like Qantas are not going to fly into Queensland without certainty, so it could be six to 12 months before Qantas comes back in Queensland flying overseas.
On Sunday, Deputy Premier Steven Miles made it clear that quarantine for international arrivals would only be scrapped once Queensland reached that 90 per cent vaccination goal. “We have outlined our road map, it’s very clear, at what threshold people can return and when they will and will not be required to quarantine and we intend to stick to that road map,” he said.It comes days after the Queensland government spruiked their reopening plan, which would see the state reopen to vaccinated Australians on November 17 despite entrants still needing to complete 14 days of home quarantine.
Parts of the country are gearing up for international borders to reopen to vaccinated Australians from November 1.
Nope. Its because of the state government stopping people from travelling.
Well well well
Hooray. Keep those borders closed, we don't need Qld anyway.
Graham Turner would be the last person I would be taking any advice from.
Or bad health system?
Probably good. Let them get out in their own state ad spend money on local services & tourist attractions.
but i thought the tyrants were mandating it? and freedoms were being taken
So 10.1% of Queenslanders decide to not get vaccinated and the state is closed forever. Good plan. No wonder we are a laughing stock. Let 10% dictate to all the others? Great plan! 🙄🙄
Lol 😆
Whatever!?
