Third dose of COVID vaccination

People who are immunocompromised will receive three primary doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

ATAGI also recommends people who are severely immunocompromised receive a fourth dose of vaccine 4 months after their third primary dose. This ensures people with suppressed immunity have the same level of protection against COVID-19 as the general population.

Please talk to your doctor or specialist if this applies to you and call reception to book in for your 3rd dose which should be between 2 and 6 months after your second dose.
