ATAGI update following weekly COVID-19 meeting (22 September 2021)
24 September 2021 - An update from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation following their weekly meeting on 22 September 2021.
The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation stresses that vaccination is a key public health intervention to prevent infection, transmission and severe disease due to SARS-CoV-2. The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation recommends COVID-19 vaccination for all Australians from 12 years of age.
The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation notes the lower but increasing vaccine coverage in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations and is encouraged by strategies to address barriers to vaccination in this important population.
