Good to know.

Confused about the difference between a third and a booster dose ❔



Third doses:
✅ are part of the primary course in people who are severely immunocompromised 🤒
⬆️ help their immunity reach levels as close as possible to the general population – who are fully vaccinated after two doses 🛡️🛡️



Booster doses:
➕ are in addition to the primary course of vaccination
💪 people are eligible for booster doses if they are 18 years and older and have had their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months ago ✅

🛡️ Help maintain immunity against COVID-19.



People who are severely immunocompromised and have already had a third dose are not recommended to get a booster at this stage.



To book a third dose or a booster dose talk to your GP or visit 💻 health.gov.au/vaccine-clinic-finder
