COVID-19 provider bulletin 19 June
Increased Moderna BA.4-5 PFS allocation
Sites who administer Moderna BA. 4-5 pre-filled syringes (PFS) had their allocations increased to 100 doses per fortnight on 10 June. Note - if you have a need for more vaccines, you can place an additional order through CVAS.
Target groups for COVID-19 boosters
The primary goal of the COVID-19 Vaccine Program is to minimise the risk of severe disease, and as research demonstrates, vaccine effectiveness of boosters remains above 50 per cent even six months after receipt. For advice on COVID-19 boosters for target groups, see the provider bulletin here.
