More and more countries are reducing their COVID-19 booster intervals to three months. As before, Germany and Britain, Australia and France have also announced these days that they will shorten the intervals between the so-called boosters. From 4 January 2022, Australia will shorten the COVID-19 revaccination interval from five to four months.
This was announced on Friday by Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt, citing recommendations from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (ATAGI). After that, the country will switch to a three-month interval, following the example of the UK and other countries.
From 4 January, Australians will be eligible for a booster vaccination four months after the second vaccination. From January 31, this period will be further reduced to three months. “This means about 7.5 million Australians will be eligible for revaccinations from Jan.4, up from the previous 3.2 million,” Hunt said. He added that on January 31, 16 million Australians will be eligible for booster vaccinations.
Germany also announced on Tuesday that it will shorten the interval between boosters from six to three months, in line with the recommendations of the Standing Commission on Vaccinations (STIKO).
The UK and Thailand were among the first to cut the minimum revaccination interval from half to three months.
The Philippines also cut the waiting time for booster vaccinations to three months this week, while the Swiss authorities cut the waiting time to four months.
French regulator Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) also said Friday that a booster vaccination for COVID-19 could be done three months after the first full vaccination.
All 100% as predicted.
Note that soon all booster shots will become paid for service, very expensive one, and without it you won't be able to do anything.
