While we reported that double vaccinated people will be allowed to enter Queensland on December 17 (when the Queensland population reached 80% vaccination) , a Lismore App reader alerted us to a potential spanner in the works that could put your Christmas plans in jeapoardy.


It seems that poor planning or bad luck in the timing of your second Covid vaccination jab will delay when you are allowed to cross the border.


The Lismore App rang Queensland Health to confirm the details because it was hard to find this information on the official Queensland Health website.


A spokesperson for Queensland Health confirmed that a two week waiting period after your second jab is necessary before you are allowed to cross the border.


So, in order to cross to Queensland on December 17, you will need to plan your second jab by December 3 at the latest.


If you want to be in Queensland for Christmas Eve (December 24), you will need to make sure you have your second jab by December 10.


So, the message is, plan ahead and drop into your Covid vaccination clinic to book your second jab in time for Christmas.
