On Wednesday 11 May 2022, ATAGI met to consider the latest developments relating to COVID-19 immunisation. As of 10 May 2022, over 58 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in Australia.
ATAGI considered data on Omicron vaccine effectiveness in New South Wales and continued to examine evidence relating to need for 4th (winter) doses of COVID-19 vaccine for at risk groups, including individuals with disability and individuals with medical comorbidities.
Ongoing review of adverse events and safety information
