ATAGI update additional 2023 COVID-19 vaccination dose

12 Oct 2023

If it has been six months since receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, an additional dose:

is recommended for people aged 75 or older
should be considered for people aged 65-74, following discussion with their health care provider.

Older age continues to be the biggest risk factor for severe COVID-19 disease. COVID-19 vaccination reduces the risk of serious illness, hospitalisation and death.

Aged care residents who have not yet received any booster dose this year are advised to do so.

Residential aged care homes are responsible for ensuring residents have access to recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses. Residential aged care providers should contact their primary care vaccine provider to organise COVID-19 boosters for residents as soon as practicable.
