COVID Boosters - Glen Forrest Medical Centre

November 2023

All adults can get a booster if it’s been 6 months or longer since their last COVID-19 booster or confirmed infection (whichever is most recent). Boosters give extra protection against severe illness from COVID.

The Australian Government has accepted a recommendation about COVID-19 vaccines. All adults aged 75 years and older should receive an extra 2023 COVID-19 vaccine dose if six months have passed since their last dose.This particularly includes people at higher risk of severe illness, like:

adults aged 65-74 years
everyone 18 years and over with medical comorbidities, disability or complex health needs.

Booster doses are not recommended at this time for children and adolescents under 18 years of age who do not have any risk factors for severe COVID-19.

Please call Reception to book in.
