MVEC 的免疫技能研讨会 - 宣布新日期
由于维多利亚州 COVID-19 病例数增加以及皇家儿童医院 (RCH) 实施访客限制,我们原定于 9 月 2 日在 RCH 举行的免疫技能研讨会已改期为 25 日星期五日 十一月。我们期待在接下来的几周内公布计划详情并开放此活动的注册。
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 更新了冬季剂量 COVID-19 疫苗的建议
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。
此外,任何希望降低 COVID-19 感染可能性的 30-49 岁成年人也可以接受冬季加强剂量。之前 COVID-19 感染或之前加强剂量与冬季加强剂量之间的推荐间隔为 3 个月。
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。

Also included is information on the responsibility of the employee/service provider/individual and medical exemptions.

ATAGI Statement on the Omicron variant and the timing of COVID-19 booster vaccination
In response to the emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 disease and it's community transmission within Australia, the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) has updated recommendations for the timing of COVID-19 vaccine booster doses.
These updated recommendations are based on strong evidence indicating that booster doses are likely to increase protection against infection with the Omicron variant, as well as reassuring international data on the safety of administering early booster doses.
These recommendations include:
- all adults (≥ 18 years) should receive a single booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine
- booster doses can be administered as early as 3 months following the completion of a primary course
- timely booster doses for pregnant women is recommended
- immunocompromised individuals who have received a 3-dose primary course should also receive a booster dose 3 months after the date of their 3rd dose
- Comirnaty (Pfizer) and Spikevax (Moderna) are the preferred brands for booster doses. Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) can be used as a booster dose for individuals with a contraindication to receiving Comirnaty or Spikevax.
ATAGI also encourages anyone aged 12 years or older who is unvaccinated to receive COVID-19 vaccination as soon as possible.

SAEFVIC Rapid report: a new reporting pathway for COVID-19 vaccine AEFI
Reporting adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) is not mandatory in Victoria, however doing so allows the rapid investigation of any potential vaccine or system problems. This helps to ensure a safe and effective immunisation program and it maintains community confidence in vaccines.
The new SAEFVIC Rapid reporting pathway has been launched for reporting any common or expected side effects following a COVID-19 vaccine. Reporting via this pathway will not result in follow up of clinical symptoms however it will contribute to data collection and assist health authorities to understand the frequency of symptoms occurring. Should the vaccinee experience significant side effects, completing the SAEFVIC Extended report is recommended.
For more information on SAEFVIC, symptoms that should be reported, and instructions on how to report, please visit our immunisation reference page below:
