Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) recommends an additional COVID-19 vaccine dose before winter for residents in aged care facilities. This recommended COVID-19 winter vaccine dose will bolster residents’ protection from severe illness, hospitalisation or death from COVID-19 over the winter season.
ATAGI recommends aged care residents receive their COVID-19 winter dose from four months after their initial booster dose. The annual influenza vaccinations is also recommended. 

Ocean Mist Aged Care is in the process of scheduling COVID-19 winter vaccine dose and flu vaccinations. These vaccination clinics will occur onsite and will be completed by one of the following:
• A primary care provider such as a visiting GP or pharmacist,
• An aged care provider approved to administer COVID-19 vaccines, or
• A Commonwealth in-reach clinic.

Please do not hesitate to contact should you have any questions.

We thank you for your ongoing support.
