The latest federal vaccine rollout data shows a total of 60.7 per cent of Queensland residents 16 and older were fully vaccinated as of Sunday,with 75.2 per cent having received a first dose.

Western Australia remains theonly jurisdiction behind Queensland on double-dose coverage.

Quarantine-free domestic travel for fully vaccinated domestic travellers to Queensland will resume on December 17,if the 80 per cent target is not reached sooner — which the current pace of second-dose rates suggest could occur.

The rolling seven-day average of first-doses passed 16,000 on Sunday,from a low of just over 12,600 the week before. This was down from a peak of about 24,250 in the week after Pfizer eligibility was opened up to over-60s in mid-September alongside the first walk-in weekend at state-run hubs.

While a corresponding spike in second-dose rates peaked earlier this month as that cohort lined up for their final jab,it is the first dose rate experts and state health authorities are watching before it eventually plateaus.

Most who receive their first dose will return for a second,but convincing the9 per cent of the population estimated to be unsure about getting the vaccine and breaking through complacency driven by thestate’s largely COVID-free status are the key focus of the latest push.

NSW,Victoria and the ACT have all passed 90 per cent first-dose rates amid ongoing outbreaks,a goal Queensland authorities also hope to eventually reach.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told reporters late on Monday that Queenslanders were “answering the call to get vaccinated”,but had less than a week to get a first dose to allow enough time for their second to take effect before the border eased.

“It’s not going to be safe if everyone doesn’t go and get their vaccine,so don’t hesitate,don’t delay,” she said.

Ms Palaszczuk said the latest regional breakdown of vaccination data showed the blitz was having a “big impact on our regions”,but more work still needed to be done to engage with some regional and Indigenous communities with the help of mayors who knew their constituents best.

Speaking alongside Deputy Premier Steven Miles at an annual meeting of local government representatives in Mackay,Lockhart River Aboriginal Shire Council mayor Wayne Butcher said he was still disappointed to see the numbers in some areas across the state as infections remained high in NSW and Victoria.

“Let’s prevent,rather than react,” Cr Butcher said.

“Reacting is too late.”
