The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) has recommended an additional vaccine dose for the following groups:

People who live in aged care or disability care facilities

People aged 16 and over who have been deemed severely immunocompromised

ATAGI says people in these categories are at the greatest risk of severe illness from COVID-19.

In the case of some severely immunocompromised people who received three doses as part of their primary vaccination series, followed by a booster, this program means they are now eligible for their fifth shot.
