"Australians aged 18 and over will be eligible for a COVID booster from
February 20 if they have not had a vaccine dose or infection in the past six
months.

This means people aged 18–29 who have had all eligible doses will be able to
get their fourth dose and those over 30 will be able to get their fifth dose.
Children aged 5–17 will be eligible for a booster if they have an underlying
health condition but boosters will not be rolled out to other children at this
stage.

Across Australia 72.4% of the population over 16 years of age is fully
vaccinated, meaning they have had least three doses of the original vaccine.
But a recent poll found fewer people were willing to get a booster dose.

So why get a booster?"
