Green light for booster vax covering extra Omicron variants: TGA
The watchdog’s decision follows reassuring data from the US and Europe
The TGA has given the green light to the first COVID-19 vaccine in Australia to specifically target the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron variants as well as the ancestral strain of the virus.
The regulator said the updated Comirnaty bivalent vaccine was provisionally approved for use as a booster dose in patients aged 12 and over.
