ATAGI recommends booster shot for immunocompromised people
Australia's expert panel on vaccines has recommended a third dose booster shot of a COVID-19 vaccine for people who are "severely" immunocompromised.
The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) said people with certain conditions, or who are on immunosuppressive therapies such as chemotherapy, might not be fully protected by the regular two doses of a vaccine.
ATAGI advised for those people, an additional shot should be given two to six months after the second dose.
It said the Pfizer and Moderna versions of the vaccine were preferred for booster shots.
No recommendations on third doses have been made for the general population at this stage.
