The new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading across Australia, with experts urging people to stay up to date on vaccinations. Older Australians, especially those over 75, are at higher risk of severe illness and are recommended to get a booster every six months. The good news? All Australians are eligible for a free COVID-19 booster, available through GPs, pharmacies, and health clinics. Now is a great time to book yours!
