Authorised workers can access Moderna at Sunshine Hospital as part of a vaccine blitz in the coming weeks.
The state government has announced that all authorised workers will need to have at least one dose of the vaccine by October 15 to continue to work on site.
Earlier deadlines set for some industries such as construction and education remain in place.
Among the industries listed on the authorised workers list includes, health services, funeral and marriage celebrants, emergency service workers both paid and voluntary, retail workers supporting the operation of click and collect, maternal and child health care workers, politicians and staff who have been working in offices and journalists.
The Sunshine Hospital is one of 11 locations where authorised workers can walk up to get Moderna between October 4 and 10 as part of the blitz.
Premier Daniel Andrews said there are more than one million authorised workers in the state, with many already fully vaccinated.
“All of our health workers are working their guts out to be there for us and they need us all to do our bit and get vaccinated, so we can continue on our pathway to opening,” he said.
