On the 20^th November 2023, ATAGI announced the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia has approved new monovalent Omicron XBB 1.5 vaccines which the Australian Government will include in the COVID 19 vaccination program from 11 December 2023.

However, as advised at the Deadly Doctors forum by Dr Kerry Chant and by ATAGI,  due to the recent increase in COVID-19 cases across Australia since November 2023, all people who have not yet had their recommended 2023 doses are encouraged to receive them as soon as possible and should not wait for the new vaccines to become available.

AH&MRC have developed the COVID Booster information poster for member services to help get the message out to community.
