Queenslanders heading to get their Covid vaccine are being offered a delcious treat as part of the state's second 'Super Pfizer Weekend.'
As the weekend kicks off, Health Minister Yvette D'Ath said several high schools across the state that have turned into vaccination hubs were offering sausage sizzles as well.
'As we hoped, there's a sausage sizzle going as well so pop down to your local high school, get a sausage sizzle, support the school and get vaccinated,' Ms D'Ath said during the Covid update livestream on Saturday morning.

Ms D'Ath also reports 69 per cent of the eligible population had received their first dose of the vaccine with 51 per cent receiving their second dose.
Queensland's Chief Health Officer Jeanette Young said the trail of vaccination hubs in school could soon be expanded if these 'super weekends' are successful, warning residents to get their jab as soon as possible before another outbreak.
'We just don't know when the next one is going to happen,' she said.
Dr Young said 11,284 people had been tested across the state yesterday.
