New resource developed by NCIRS: Decision Aid: Should I get the COVID-19 vaccine?

The National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) have developed a simple resource to help individuals in making the decision on whether COVID-19 vaccination is right for them.

The resource was created by leading experts in immunisation and Public Health and has been designed in 5 simple steps to provide information on the COVID-19 virus and vaccines, weigh up the risks and benefits of vaccination, and assist in making a decision.

New immunisation reference page: COVID-19: TGA recognised vaccines

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) have provided guidance on COVID-19 vaccines given internationally that are not currently registered for use within Australia. This assessment assists with confirming the vaccination status of incoming travellers who have been immunised overseas and is based on an evaluation of the current available evidence and is subject to change as new information arises.

Our new reference page discusses the advice provided by the TGA, including the COVID-19 vaccines currently registered/approved for use in Australia. It also provides recommendations based on the current advice and includes answers to commonly asked questions.

The Conversation: No, vaccinated people are not ‘just as infectious’ as unvaccinated people if they get COVID

Recent studies have shown similar peak viral loads in vaccinated people who contract COVID-19 disease compared with unvaccinated people who contract COVID, raising questions around the impact that vaccination has on preventing transmission.

This article discusses the findings from recent studies on viral load and further explores the impact that vaccination has on those who experience breakthrough disease. It specifically highlights how vaccinated individuals with breakthrough disease can clear the virus faster, have lower levels of the virus overall, and therefore are less contagious.
