Gold Coast CEO Steve Mitchell said he's relieved to be able to put the flu shot drama behind his club and focus on the return of the NRL from the coronavirus shutdown.
The Titans were at the centre of the debate, with backrower Bryce Cartwright objecting to the League's decision to mandate flu vaccines.
After the Queensland government insisted players wouldn't be allowed to return to training until they'd recieved the shot, the situation was getting ugly.

With Cartwright stood down and missing training, a medical exemption was eventually granted, clearing the way for his return.
Speaking on ABC Grandstand on Saturday, Mitchell said the club was happy to have reached a resolution
"You've got a group of 30 people, some of them have been getting vaccinations their whole lives no problem, some of them have had adverse reactions in the past and they were a little bit tentative but proceeded with it because they wanted to get to work," Mitchell said.
"Then you had another couple of guys that needed some time to actually contemplate it and then you had the likes of Bryce who had a GP who related to a past experience and that experience went through to the chief medical officer of Queensland, Dr. Janet Young.
"She took that into consideration and granted the exception based on past experience.
"We were just going to follow process and we're there, we're back, we're all training... it's good to be through it.
"It's an emotive subject and I'm glad to be out the other side and concentrate on the really good stuff which is the footy."
Whether Cartwright lines up against North Queensland next Friday remains to be seen as the 26-year-old's place in Justin Holbrook's side is not guaranteed.
While the NRL has confirmed the next two fixtures for each club, the venues are yet to be settled on.
With crowds locked out, the NRL has the flexibility to play more games at fewer venues in order to minimise risk and assist broadcasters.
Sydney games are expected to played out of ANZ and Bankwest Stadiums, while Mitchell has called on the NRL to consider the Titans' home of Cbus Super Stadium as an option north of the border.
"The consolidation of stadia plan, which makes sense in Sydney given there's nine teams in a 200km radius," Mitchell said.
"We want to play at home in Queensland.
"The Cows I imagine will probably play at home (in Townsville)... we want to stay at Cbus. The Broncs will stay at Suncorp I'd imagine.
"We're very consicous of the fact that these aren't normal times, we've been through other challenges and we'll get through this one, but we'd like to stay at home if possible.
"We'll do what it takes to get back and get going, it's not ideal, but we aren't here to creat obstacles, we're here to get back."
