COVID-19 booster eligibility ‘unlikely to change’ despite warnings of another wave

ATAGI is unlikely to change its COVID-19 vaccine booster recommendations despite predictions of a new wave of cases to hit within weeks, health officials say.
Last week, the chief health officers of both NSW and Victoria said new subvariants called XBB and BQ.1 were causing a rise in COVID-19 case numbers, with Victoria reporting a 25% increase in cases in just one week.
