New Covid-19 vaccines available to target current variants
20 November 2023 - The Australian Government has accepted the latest advice from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation on the use of new COVID-19 XBB 1.5 vaccine as part of the National COVID-19 Vaccine Program.
All available COVID-19 vaccines continue to provide strong protection against serious disease. The new XBB 1.5 vaccines have been found to provide modest improved protection against the COVID-19 strains circulating in the community. The XBB 1.5 vaccines will be available along with the existing bivalent vaccines.
