Queensland recorded 369 new cases on Thursday morning, almost double the previous day's record-breaking total.
Premier Palaszczuk says first dose vaccination rates are above 90%, with one tourism location falling behind.
"On the Gold Coast it's 88.8% - this is where the tourists are coming from across the border. If you have not been vaccinated go and see your GP and pharmacists and visit one of our vaccination centres today. It is absolutely imperative." Premier Palaszczuk said.
"We are seeing preliminary advice that the vaccines appear to be working and they are protecting Queenslanders from getting seriously sick," Ms Palaszczuk said.
