COVID-19 FOURTH VACCINATION

As we go into winter it is now clear there is a growing third Omicron wave and the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) have now recommended that Australians over 50 receive a 4th COVID vaccination. If you are aged 30-49 you may have a 4th dose if you choose.

Ms Anne Stanley said, “ we are committed to making sure as many eligible Australians as possible are protected and you can protect yourself and your family by booking your vaccine”.

If you have only received two doses ATAGI recommends you get a booster as soon as possible as you are not fully protected against the Omicron variant. “The Albanese Government has ensured there are plenty of free vaccines for everyone eligible,” said Ms Stanley.

Covid vaccinations are free and available via your pharmacy with or without a Medicare card as well as at your general practitioner’s office.
