"As the COVID virus continues to evolve, so does our vaccine response. From
December 11, Australians will have access to new vaccines that offer better
protection.

These “monovalent” booster vaccines are expected to be a better match for
currently circulating strains of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID.

Pfizer’s monovalent vaccine will be available to eligible people aged five
years and older. The Moderna monovalent vaccine can be used for those aged 12
years and older.

Who is eligible for these new boosters? How do they differ from earlier ones?
Do they work? Are they safe?"
