Prime Minister Scott Morrison has also said the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) is reviewing the booster shot rollout “every week”.

At this stage, he said the government would follow expert advice before flagging that further changes to fast-track the booster vaccine rollout.

It comes after Health Minister Greg Hunt also said issued a statement saying Australians aged 18 and over now have the choice to receive a Moderna or Pfizer Covid-19 booster shot following approval from ATAGI.

“Moderna and Pfizer are the preferred vaccines for the booster doses – irrespective of what vaccine a person received for their primary course of vaccination,” the statement read.

ATAGI also recently updated its advice to recommend booster doses be provided from five months after completion of the primary course, given the likelihood of ongoing transmission of both Omicron and Delta variants.
