VicSIS 更新 - 服务已更改
从 2022 年 7 月起，VicSIS（维多利亚专家免疫服务网络）提供的服务发生了变化。 VicSIS 诊所的数量及其地点已经减少，成人服务现在仅在 Barwon Health、Austin Health、Monash Health 和 Peter MacCallum 癌症中心提供。由于这些变化，预约的等待时间可能会更长，因此应告知患者。
此外，VicSIS 不再资助支持儿科 COVID-19 疫苗接种。需要专家建议的 15 岁及以下儿童可以通过皇家儿童医院和莫纳什健康中心现有的专家免疫诊所进行检查。这些服务的推荐应继续通过 VicSIS eReferral 门户提交。

ATAGI 扩大了推荐接受 COVID-19 冬季加强剂量的人群，现在包括：
- 任何 50 岁及以上的成年人（包括原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民）
- 16 岁及以上的老年护理或残疾护理居民
- 16 岁及以上患有严重疾病的人 免疫功能低下， 残疾或复杂的健康需求，或患有多种合并症的人，这可能会增加较差结果的可能性。

ATAGI 关切地注意到，加强剂量的覆盖范围（第一剂和冬季剂）对符合条件的人群来说并不理想，并强调了疫苗接种在预防严重感染和住院方面的重要性。

NCIRS resource now available – Influenza vaccination coverage data
NCIRS have published a report outlining influenza vaccination coverage according to state/territory as well as age group, in Australia in 2022. Rates are compared to vaccination coverage reported in 2020 and 2021. This report will be updated weekly and uses data obtained from the Australian Immunisation Register.
Influenza vaccines are recommended for all people aged ≥ 6 months. They are provided for free on the National Immunisation Program (NIP) for at-risk groups including children under 5, people with specific medical risk factors, pregnant women, people aged 65 and over and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders aged ≥ 6 months. Some individual jurisdictions are also providing free flu vaccination for all aged ≥ 6 months. Any other individuals who are unable to source a funded vaccine can obtain a flu vaccine for a small fee.
As of the 11日 June 2022, 31.6% of Australians aged 6 months and above had received an influenza vaccination, and just 20.2% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples had received one.

New resource for seniors added to the MVEC immunisation hub for the general public
Due to the immune system becoming less effective as we age and the increasing risk of severe disease, immunisation is an important aspect of health promotion for seniors.
Our dedicated immunisation resource includes information for seniors on vaccine preventable diseases, vaccine recommendations, answers to frequently asked questions and links to further resources.
MVEC’s hub of up-to-date and reliable information aims to increase the public’s awareness and understanding of vaccine preventable diseases and promote the benefits of immunisation for people of all ages.
If you are interested in collaborating with MVEC to develop immunisation resources, we’d love to hear from you!

ATAGI recommendations on first booster dose in adolescents aged 12-15 years
ATAGI has provided updated advice regarding COVID-19 booster doses for those aged 12-15 years.
A single booster dose of Comirnaty (Pfizer) is now recommended for the following select groups:
- those who are severely immunocompromised
- those who have a disability with significant or complex health needs
- those who have complex and/or multiple health conditions that increase the risk of severe COVID-19.
Booster doses can be administered ≥ 3 months after the completion of the primary course, or ≥ 3 months after COVID-19 infection (whichever is later).
There is currently insufficient evidence to support expanding this booster dose recommendation to other groups of adolescents aged 12-15 years, however this advice may change in the future as more evidence emerges.
