"The Halton independent review of Australia’s COVID vaccine and treatment
procurement has been handed to the federal government, which released the
review’s recommendations yesterday. Topping the list of priorities are

public health campaigns designed to encourage sustained booster uptake for
those that will benefit […] delivered during 2023 and 2024 to improve
coverage.

Around 72% of the eligible population in Australia have received their third
dose. Fourth dose uptake is reasonably high among older adults (73% of eligible
people aged over 65), but only 40% of eligible adults aged 30 to 65 (those with
health conditions or a disability) have had their “winter booster”.

Around the world, authorities are rethinking how they encourage maximum vaccine
protection."
