ATAGI has endorsed use of Novavax’s COVID-19 vaccine as a booster when no other vaccine is suitable and tweaked its advice on AstraZeneca’s shot in an update for immunisation providers.
The committee previously suggested AstraZeneca’s vaccine, Vaxzevria, was a booster option for people who had it as a primary course but now recommends it as a booster “in those who have a medical contraindication to or who decline a booster dose of mRNA vaccine”.
