From 3 February 2022, Australians aged 16 and 17 years old are eligible to receive a COVID-19 booster vaccine, following recommendations from ATAGI. The booster dose for 16-17 year olds will be one dose of the adult Pfizer vaccine three months after their primary course. Adolescents who were 15 years old when they had their second COVID-19 vaccine, and are now 16 years old, will also be eligible for a booster dose.
From 5 February 2022, Services Australia will send booster notifications to customers who completed their primary vaccination course 4 months ago and have not yet had their booster vaccine.
Customers will get this notification through myGov messages, if they have chosen to get myGov notifications digitally, or the post as a letter. The booster notification reads: ‘You are now able to receive your booster dose for COVID-19. If you have not yet booked this vaccination, you can book through the online Vaccine Clinic Finder or contact your vaccination provider.’
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has announced that Novavax (NUVAXOVID) is now approved for use in Australia and can have it recorded on AIR.
The Services Australia website lists the COVID-19 vaccines approved or recognised by the TGA that can be recorded on AIR as well as the AIR vaccine code formats.
The Department of Health is retiring the Commonwealth Booking Platform (CBP) and the Clinician Vaccination Integrated Platform (CVIP).
All vaccine providers currently using the CBP will need to transition to an alternative booking process or commercially available booking platform by mid-2022.
All vaccine providers currently using the CVIP will need to transition to a commercially available, AIR compliant, vaccination reporting software by mid-2022.
