The World Health Organization’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) has updated its Roadmap for prioritizing uses of COVID-19 vaccines to include vaccination information relating to: 

  • specific recommendations for primary series vaccination and booster doses according to priority groups 
  • need and frequency of further booster doses following an initial booster  
  • variant-specific vaccines 
  • vaccination during pregnancy 
  • post COVID-19 conditions. 

These updated guidelines align with ATAGI’s current recommendation for prioritising vaccination of those with a high risk of severe disease. This includes the current guidance for not recommending booster doses in healthy children.
