Queensland records zero new community cases of COVID-19 a day after it was revealed an unvaccinated teen tested positive on the Gold Coast.

Queensland Health Minister Yvette D'Ath said there were 13,603 vaccinations administered in Queensland Health facilities yesterday.

She said 75.68 per cent of Queenslanders over 16 had received their first dose and 61.22 per cent had a second dose. "The date of the 17th of December is coming very quickly so we need people to get fully protected, which means you need to be out getting your first dose this week," she said. Dr Young said it was important Queenslanders did not get complacent with low community transfer of the virus.

"It's really important that people just continue to get tested if they have any symptoms at all, every single day," she said.She said it was imperative people had their first dose this week to be ready for the state's border opening in December.

Wow! So sure of herself. But what about on the 17th of Dec when all and sunder can swamp us and our holiday destinations? Oh. We'll worry about that on the 17th as today is not the 17th.🤔

Why is this random nurse going to be an attorney general? Does she have any experience practicing law?
