Boosters
A booster dose of vaccine is recommended for all people aged 16 and over from three months after their second dose of the vaccine. A second (winter) booster is also recommended three months after the previous booster dose for Tasmanians aged 50 years and over. Those aged 30-49 years can choose to have
a winter booster dose, however the benefit for people in this age group is less certain.
People at higher risk of severe disease and death from COVID-19 should receive a winter booster dose as soon as possible. They include: people aged 65+; all aged and disability care residents; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50+; and those aged 16-64 years who have medical conditions
that increase the risk of severe COVID-19 infection.
Third Primary Dose
A third primary dose of vaccination is recommended for people who are severely immunocompromised as part of their primary course of vaccination because they might not be fully protected by the regular two doses of a vaccine.
A third primary dose is different to a booster vaccine and should be given between two and six months after their second dose of the vaccine.
