Regular COVID Boosters Are Still Important

Recommendations by age


People aged 75 years or older are recommended to receive a COVID-19 booster every six months.

People aged 65 to 74 years, and people aged 18 to 64 years with severe immunocompromise, are:

  • Recommended to receive a COVID-19 vaccine booster every 12 months

  • Eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine booster every six months based on individual health needs. This should be discussed with a doctor or pharmacist.

Among Australians aged 65 years or older, having a COVID-19 vaccine in the last three months reduced the risk of death from COVID-19 by as much as 74.9%1 compared to those who were unvaccinated. After six months, the risk is reduced by more than 50%.
