Australians could require four or five jabs to be considered ‘up to date’ with COVID-19 vaccines

Health officials haven’t ruled out four or even five doses of COVID-19 vaccine being required to be considered “up to date”.

Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) chair Nigel Crawford made the admission while appearing before a Senate estimates committee on Wednesday.

Asked by Liberal senator Alex Antic if he could assure Australians they would not be required to get four or even five doses to be considered up to date, Professor Crawford could offer no such guarantee.
