Those at increased risk of severe COVID-19, such as those aged 60 years and above, including those residing in aged care facilities, and medically vulnerable individuals aged six months and above, are recommended to have up-to-date vaccinations. This means they should receive an additional dose around one year after their last dose.
Healthcare workers and persons living or working with medically vulnerable individuals are also encouraged to receive the vaccine. Other individuals aged six months and above who wish to receive the COVID-19 vaccine can continue to do so, said the agency.
