Recent ATAGI considerations
On Wednesday 31 August 2022, ATAGI met to consider the latest developments relating to COVID-19 immunisation. As of 29 August, over 63 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in Australia.
Consideration of variant vaccines
On 29 August 2022 the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) granted provisional approval for the Moderna bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, Spikevax Bivalent Zero/Omicron.
Following this announcement, ATAGI have continued to discuss the role of this new bivalent COVID-19 vaccine in Australia's COVID-19 vaccination program and are currently finalising advice to the Minister for Health and Aged Care on the use of this vaccine.
ATAGI continue to emphasise the importance of receiving the COVID-19 vaccinations recommended for your age or individual health needs.
Ongoing review of COVID-19 vaccine safety
The TGA Fortnightly Report provides a detailed breakdown of adverse events following immunisation, including Australian rates of myocarditis and pericarditis.
