10th February 2023
The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) has updated its recommendations on the use of booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine in 2023.
ATAGI RECOMMENDS a 2023 COVID-19 booster dose for adults in the following groups, if their last COVID-19 vaccine dose or confirmed infection (whichever is the most recent) was 6 months ago or longer, and regardless of the number of prior doses received – for adults aged over 65 years and over and adults aged 18 – 64 years who have medical comorbidities that increase their risk of severe COVID-19, or disability with significant or complex health needs.
ATAGI advises the following groups should CONSIDER a 2023 booster dose if their last COVID-19 vaccine dose or confirmed infection (whichever is the most recent) was 6 months ago or longer and regardless of the number of prior doses received, based on an individual risk benefit assessment with their immunisation provider – all adults aged 18-64 years without risk factors for severe COVID-19 AND children 5 – 17 years who have medical comorbidities that increase their risk of severe COVID-19 or disability with significant or complex health needs.
ATAGI advises that a booster dose is not recommended at this time for children and adolescents aged under the age of 18 who do not have any risk factors for sever COVID-19
