Patients with diabetes, cancer and other chronic diseases will be eligible for a second COVID-19 booster dose from 30 May.
ATAGI has extended its recommendations for a so-called ‘winter dose’ to cover patients aged 16-64 with underlying health conditions and those with disabilities who have complex health needs.
