Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said council is committed to supporting the vaccine rollout.
“Our wonderful doctors, nurses, pharmacists and others across Ipswich are making the vaccination program accessible to the community,” Mayor Harding said.
“It is our priority to support our healthcare workers with more hubs closer to Ipswich residents.
“Given the precinct’s excellent transport links and significantly sized undercover car park, this is a perfect location for residents and ratepayers to come and get your vaccine, do some shopping or visit the library at the same time.”

Missed my appointment as the address was confusing. I also need to find out if you give Pfizer as I am eligible for it.
They do give a choice if all 3 vaccines and it’s at the top of Ipswich mall. There are signs everywhere, you can’t miss it. They are still open now.
It’s the old Harvey Norman store
Just had my booster there … original uphill end of Mall towards old Post Office but picture theatre side … pfizer is the main shot being given. Turn from pedestrian walkway into arcade next to chemist. Cheers & good luck! thanks to Elaine, too. John.
I got my daughter done here, it was great. Stress free and the ladies weee very kind and helpful. I found it very easy to find and well set out, there are clear signs everywhere so would be hard to miss it!
