Following recent approval from the TGA, the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) have recommended the use of Spikevax (Moderna) as a COVID-19 booster vaccine for people aged 18 years and older (including pregnant women), who have completed their primary course of COVID-19 vaccine 5 or more months ago. The booster dose is half the recommended dose of the Spikevax vaccine used for the primary course.
ATAGI notes that Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines are equally acceptable for use as booster vaccines in Australia in the eligible population.
