City features in ad

AN ADVERTISING campaign encouraging Queenslanders to be vaccinated against Covid-19 has been filmed at several locations on the Darling Downs.

The “for the love of” campaign launched in Queensland on September 25 to remind residents that being vaccinated against Covid-19 is the “best way” to protect yourself so you can get back to spending time with your loved ones, as a part of a statewide push to increase vaccination numbers.

On the Darling Downs, Toowoomba and Ballandean were both featured in the campaign.

“Queenslanders enjoy more freedoms than those in other states thanks to the way they responded to the pandemic,” Deputy Premier Steven Miles said.

“Vaccinating as many Queenslanders as possible is vital to preserving our way of life.

“As we get more vaccines from the Commonwealth, advertising is an important tool to get that message out there.

“This campaign will motivate even more people to do the right thing, come forward and get vaccinated.”

Other filming locations included Brisbane, Cairns, Innisfail and Port Douglas.

The campaign will run across multiple channels including TV, radio, social media, online and digital posters. Anyone aged 12 and over is now eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine at any Queensland Health vaccination location and participating GPs.

The Moderna vaccine also just arrived in community pharmacies this week, and the AstraZeneca vaccine is available from participating GPs and pharmacies.
