Guidance says strong population-level immunity due to infection and vaccination means boosters have less impact

, from WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunisation, says each country needs to take into account its own epidemiological situation, stressing that its recommendations are for short-to-medium term planning and subject to change.

This high priority group should get a booster 6-12 months after their last dose, with the timeframe depending on factors such as age and immunocompromising conditions, the guide says. The lowest priority group is healthy children and adolescents aged six months to 17 years. While primary and booster doses are safe and effective in children and adolescents, the public health impact of vaccinating them is comparatively much lower than the benefits of vaccines to protect them against diseases such as measles.

'Still seeking advice': Albanese pressed on progress of inquiry into COVID responseSeven months after noting an inquiry into Australia's COVID-19 pandemic response should be held 'as soon as practicable', the Prime Minister has been pressed on the government's progress on the issue. Can’t get the right advice on the ‘Terms of Reference’ that actually investigates the debacle without apportioning blame for lock ups, paramilitary policing and mandatory guinea pig vaccinations. All will be guilty,goaled,political pyria's.

Beefed up search powers to help WA police 'break the power' of bikies to distribute drugsCiting lessons learned during COVID border closures, the WA government hands police 'world leading' search powers at its border crossings to stem the flow of illegal drugs into the state. Throwing out 'bikies' is just spin on an outrageous overreach by the cops and an increasingly authoritarian streak in the Labor Party. When the rest of the world is legalising and decriminalising WA is still pretending prohibition is anything but a gift to organised crime. Fair enough as they are taking away business from the police who resell all the drugs they get at the drug busts.

When this COVID-19 quarantine hub was used for flood victims, some felt 'unsafe' amid violence and drug useDocuments obtained by the ABC under Freedom of Information record dozens of incidents involving violence and drugs at a former COVID-19 quarantine facility used to house flood victims. ABC will talk about anything, but what about all the Nevada sexual abuse survivors of the Boy Scouts of America? Will you open a lookback window for them so they can get justice? There are hundreds of us from Nevada that are about to get dropped from getting any justice. So drugs that exist in society exist in a relief centre. Have the ABC looked in their own staffs homes I bet you there would be drugs there as well
