ATAGI 2023 Booster Advice

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) have updated their recommendations on the use of booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine in 2023.

ATAGI recommends a 2023 COVID-19 vaccine booster dose for adults if:

  1. their last COVID-19 vaccine dose was 6 months ago or longer, or
  2. their last confirmed infection was 6 months ago or longer, and
  3. regardless of the number of prior doses received.

Recommend 2023 booster dose for:

  1. All adults aged 65 years and over; and
  2. At risk adults aged 18-64 years

Consider 2023 booster dose for:

  1. All adults aged 18-64 years without risk factors
  2. At risk children and adolescents aged 5-17 years

Not recommended for:

  1. children and adolescents aged under the age of 18 who do not have any risk factors

Moderna Bivalent vaccine (Original/Omicron)

When will Moderna bivalent vaccine rollout commence?

  • From 10 October 2022
  • Moderna Bivalent will be included in the COVID-19 Vaccination Program for boosters in people aged 18 years, as per ATAGI advice.

Is there an EOI process for Moderna bivalent vaccine?

  • All COVID-19 Vaccine sites will be automatically onboarded for Moderna bivalent in tranches – no EOI process
  • Your PHN will advise you which tranche you will be onboarded in.
  • Sites will need to complete the Moderna Site Readiness Declaration
  • If sites do not complete the site declaration and place an order within 8 weeks, they will be deactivated for Moderna Bivalent in CVAS.

How can sites order Moderna bivalent vaccine?

  • Select Moderna “bivalent 18+ blue/green” from CVAS
  • All primary care sites will receive an ongoing allocation of 100 doses

Who can receive Moderna bivalent vaccine?

  • Moderna bivalent vaccine can be used as any booster dose but is NOT recommended for primary course of vaccination
  • Moderna bivalent vaccine should NOT be used in anyone under 18 years as it is not registered for this age group.
COVID-19 vaccines in at-risk children aged 6 months to <5 years

Atrisk Kids

On 3 August 2022, ATAGI released recommendations on COVID-19 vaccine use in children aged 6 months to <5 years.

 

Recommended for at-risk children: 

ATAGI recommends COVID-19 vaccination for children aged 6 months to <5 years with severe immunocompromise, disability, and those who have complex and/or multiple health conditions which increase the risk of severe COVID-19. This includes conditions listed in the ATAGI recommendations and similar conditions.

Not recommended for all children: 

ATAGI does not currently recommend vaccination for children aged 6 months to <5 years who are not in the risk categories for severe COVID-19.

Dosing and schedule:

Paediatric formulation (25mcg) Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, 2 primary doses 8 weeks apart. Children with severe immunocompromise should receive a 3rd primary dose, 8 weeks after the 2nd dose.

General Practice EOI Paediatric Moderna (6 months to 4 years) for at-risk children (Stage 1)
  1. EOI general practice invitation: 26 July 2022
  2. EOI submission deadline: 29 July 2022
  3. Approval for Paed Moderna: pending COVID taskforce 

Which patients will be eligible for Paediatric Moderna in Stage 1 of the rollout?

  • only at-risk children aged 6 months to 4 years
  • at-risk includes: children with immunocompromise, comorbidities and/or disability, see list of conditions

When will vaccination of at-risk children commence?

  • The Australian Government will include the Moderna vaccine for children aged 6 months to under 5 years in the COVID-19 Vaccination Program from 5 September 2022.

How many practices will be approved to administer Paediatric Modernain in Stage 1 of the rollout?

  • the at-risk cohort is expected to be relatively small
  • only a small number of vaccination sites is expected to be included in Stage 1 

Contact coronavirus@cesphn.com.au for further information.

TGA provisionally approves Novavax for use in 12-17 year olds  

On 25 July 2022, the TGA provisionally approved the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine for use in individuals aged 12-17 years. The potential use of this vaccine in the national COVID-19 vaccination program in this age group will be considered by ATAGI who will provide advice to the Government in the coming weeks.

Previously, Novavax was provisionally approved for the use as a primary course and as a booster dose in adults aged 18 years and over.

TGA provisionally approves Paediatric Moderna vaccine

On 19 July 2022 the TGA provisionally approved a paediatric dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for use in individuals aged 6 months to less than 6 years. The paediatric Moderna vaccine is made in the same way as the Moderna vaccines for older individuals, however it contains a lower concentration of the active ingredient 25 micrograms per 0.25ml (compared to 50 micrograms per 0.25ml).

Immunisation providers should NOT use Moderna in children aged 6 months to less than 6 years until ATAGI provides advice to the Government on these matters in the coming weeks. ATAGI is reviewing data on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on children aged 6 months to <5 years and will provide advice on the use of COVID-19 vaccines in this age group to the Government in the coming weeks.

Reinfection period – now 28 days

28d

The COVID-19 reinfection period has been reduced from 12 weeks to 28 days. People who’ve had COVID-19 more than 28 days ago and have new symptoms should stay home, test and isolate if positive.

Winter booster – 30+ years now eligible

7 July 2022: ATAGI has updated its recommendations for a winter dose of COVID-19 vaccine to help reduce severe disease from the emerging surge of Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 subvariant infections, and to reduce the burden on Australian hospitals and the healthcare system in coming months. The updated recommendations are:

  • Adults aged 50 to 64 years are now recommended to receive a winter booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
  • Adults aged 30 to 49 years can receive a winter booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, however the benefit for people in this age group is less certain.
  • The interval recommended between a recent SARS-CoV-2 infection or the first booster dose and a winter booster dose is now 3 months.

Booster dose number

  • When entering directly onto the AIR site, there is no requirement for entering a dose number for adults.  AIR record all adult doses as V (valid). The immunisation history statement does not list doses for adults.
  • If you are required to enter a dose number, it can be entered as ‘3’ but AIR will count them according to date given so it does not need to be changed if it automatically defaults to ‘1’ in practice software.

Further information:

Disposal of COVID-19 vaccines

Pfizer 12+ shelf-life extension – some batches of Pfizer with manufacturer expiry 28 Feb 2022 have had their shelf life extended. Check information sheet before discarding vials.

What is vaccine wastage?

Vaccine wastage refers to the loss of vaccine doses due to cold chain breaches, expired vials or other damage.

How do you dispose of COVID-19 vaccines?

The COVID-19 Vaccination Training gives details on how to dispose of vaccines:

  • Prior to disposal, the outer packaging (carton) should be defaced by striking through at least one panel of the carton with a sharpie or similar marker.
  • Any unused vaccine or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements in a clinical waste bin – vials must be disposed of in the provided sharps container to ensure they cannot be accessed.

Reporting requirements for vaccine wastage:

Remember to notify wastage to the Vaccine Operations Centre (VOC) through the COVID-19 Vaccine Administrative System (CVAS):

  • wastage less than 5 vials should be reported in your “Vaccine Stock Management Report
  • wastage of 5 vias and over should also be reported within the “Wastage Report”
  • wastage “incidents” (e.g. damaged vials or breach of cold chain requirements), of 5 vials and over must be reported immediately (within 2 hours of the incident occurring) by calling the VOC on 1800 318 208

Advice on Vaccine Errors

Don’t forget to check – Poster

  1. Advice retlating to patient:
    • Open disclosure of the incident to the patient/parents of the patient.
    • Inform patient of any expected side effects and possible remedies to help with side effects.
    • Arrange follow up appointment for patient with GP – mainly as a health check, but also to maintaining the GP/patient relationship.
    • Give the Patient/Parents HCCC contact details in case they want to report a complaint:
  2. Advice relating to practice:
      • Usual incident reporting process within the practice
      • Inform the practice Insurer
      • Review practice policies/process to avoid error in future
  3. Clinical advice:
    • Send patient to ED if patient clinical unwell
    • Call NSWISS (Specialist Immunisation Clinic) if clinical advice re patient symptoms is required
    • Report AEFI if patients has symptoms – download the AEFI TGA Reporting Form
    • For accidental overdose see below.
  4. For COVID-19 vaccinations, send an error report to Vaccine Operations Centre (VOC):
Accidental overdose
  1. If an accidental overdose occurs, it is recommended to observe vital signs and, if symptomatic, to treat the symptoms. There are no specific overdose symptoms to be aware of.
  2. Follow the above Advice on Vaccine Errors – This error must be recorded through your normal jurisdictional medication error reporting systems.
  3. For more information, the Poisons Information Centre may be contacted on 131 126.
Revaccination following vaccine error

If an error has occurred during vaccine preparation or vaccine administration, resulting in an inadequate two-dose primary course, another dose may be recommended. The aim of replacement doses is to attain a level of immune response that is comparable to that expected following completion of a two-dose primary course of a COVID-19 vaccine according to the recommended dosage and schedule (ATAGI, 2021u).

Vaccine Administration Error ATAGI Recommendation

Less than half of the vaccine dose volume (estimated) was administered

Give a replacement dose a minimum of 1 week after the invalid dose, and a subsequent dose as indicated

Incorrect diluent (such as sterile water for injection) used to dilute Pfizer (COMIRNATY) (For Age 5 to <12 Years) vaccine dose

Give a replacement dose of Pfizer (COMIRNATY) (For Age 5 to <12 Years) a minimum of 1 week after the invalid dose, and a subsequent dose as indicated

Only the diluent of Pfizer (COMIRNATY) (For Age 5 to <12 Years) was administered (i.e. no Pfizer (COMIRNATY) vaccine ingredient)

Give a replacement dose of Pfizer (COMIRNATY) (For Age 5 to <12 Years) as soon as feasible, and a subsequent dose if indicated

If the 2nd dose of Pfizer (COMIRNATY) (Age 5 to <12 Years) is administered less than 14 days after the first dose, it is considered an invalid dose.

An additional dose of Pfizer (COMIRNATY) (For Age 5 to <12 Years) should be administered as a replacement dose. The interval between the invalid 2nd dose and the replacement dose is flexible, recommended at 4 to 12 weeks after the invalid 2nd dose (ATAGI, 2021u).

6. COVID-19 Vaccination Training
