A Bundaberg store has been named as a COVID exposure site amid a push by the Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service to increase vaccination rates.
The Fresh Fields Foodworks on Thabeban Street has been listed as a low-risk contact site visited by a Gympie truck driver who tested positive for the virus in New South Wales.
The time of concern was between 4pm and 4.45pm on Saturday, October 23.
Meanwhile, the Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service said more than 2,050 people were vaccinated in the region last weekend.
More than 760 people in high schools in Bundaberg, Hervey Bay and Maryborough are included in that figure.
The service said pop-up clinics would continue in the coming weeks and that the rural outreach van would travel to Gin Gin and Childers this week.
Bundaberg Mayor Jack Dempsey is urging the public to get vaccinated following a letter from the coordinator of the National Vaccine Taskforce.
Lieutenant General John Frewen says 73 per cent of the Bundaberg population 15 and older have had a first vaccine dose.
The national figure sits at 85 per cent.
Lieutenant General Frewen said the rate for the second dose was 57 per cent, compared to the national figure of 69 per cent.
