Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said a deal with nearly 30 Queensland clubs would allow around 7250 of the vouchers to be offered as a way of boosting vaccination rates.

In an admission many Queenslanders were not listening to the government’s appeals about the health benefits of getting vaccinated, D’Ath said the lure of a cheap meal at the local club might be more attractive.

“If people weren’t convinced by the fact getting vaccinated could keep you out of hospital and save your life, they might be enticed by a $10 voucher that can be used at local clubs,” she said.

“Getting the jab means you’re 80% less likely to get COVID and pass it on.

“It’s time to roll up your sleeve and get the jab then roll up to your local club and have a feed.”

Latest figures show 78.21 per cent of Queenslanders have had their first dose, while 64.71 per cent are fully vaccinated.

Clubs Queensland CEO Kelly Egan said Queensland’s community clubs wanted to do their bit to support the vaccine rollout.

He said the vouchers would be valid at participating in Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, Toowoomba and Brisbane.

The vouchers, available from Thursday, will be offered for first doses of the vaccine only and are available upon exit from the vaccination hub.

Latest federal data shows 78 per cent of eligible Australians are double-dosed, with about 88 per cent partially vaccinated.

Victoria’s daily new infection tally fell below 1000 for the second day running, with 941 cases and eight more deaths.

It has surpassed an 81 per cent double-dose rate.
