Aussie vaccine experts now call for a mass fifth COVID-19 jab for the elderly, immunosuppressed, and even Aboriginal population, despite the fact that health authorities just a few months ago went on the record that this wouldn’t be necessary. Apparently, as the influenza shot season approaches Australia in April and May, health authorities now suggest COVID-19 could surge, and thus rumblings across mainstream press reports of the push for use of the bivalent Omicron jab along with the flu jab in the months ahead. In November, Mark Butler, a Minister for Health and Aged Care, declared that The Australian Advisory Group on Immunization (ATAGI) decided against a recommendation of a fifth jab once “considering international evidence as well as the local data around.” Among other evidence, the ATAGI pointed out that in Singapore, it appeared that two doses of COVID-19 vaccine appeared appropriate for reducing the incidence of morbidity and mortality.
