Some Australian people will be able to get the fourth dose of vaccination for Covid-19 or even the fifth dose in rare cases. According to the reports, the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) has advised about the additional vaccine dose for some specific groups of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you need to know about the ‘Winter Booster’ programme is described below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n People who are at least 65 years old or more than this can avail this Covid Jab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People who reside in nursing homes for aged people, or work in institutions for the disabled can also get this dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People who are at least 16 years old and more can go for this fourth shot, who have already been diagnosed as having severe immunodeficiency (when your immune system’s defenses are weakened, making it more difficult for it to battle infections and disease).<\/p>\n\n\n\n People who are at the age of 50s, and older who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander can also take this shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n COVID-19 poses the greatest risk of serious disease to those in these groups, according to the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read Also<\/strong>: Petrol, diesel prices today: Fuel rates hiked again for 12th time in 14 days, check latest rates in Delhi, Patna, Bangalore, Jaipur and other cities<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some critically immunocompromised persons who had three doses as part of their main immunization series, followed by a booster, are now eligible for their fifth shot. Thanks to this great initiative, that will save many lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’ve had COVID-19 since getting your booster injection, you’ll have to wait four months to have your booster shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In exceptional cases, people are able to get the vaccination sooner, but the waiting period cannot be less than three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ATAGI’s recommended vaccines are Pfizer and Moderna, which are both mRNA vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the AstraZeneca vaccine can be administered if a person is unable to receive an mRNA vaccine due to medical reasons or if they refuse one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Novavax is also allowed for use as a fourth dosage, but unless no other vaccination is found appropriate for the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho can avail fourth Covid-19 Vaccination dose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
