Some 85 per cent of Australians aged 12-15 have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while 79 per cent are now double-dosed. A meeting of the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation on Wednesday will consider whether to recommend extending the booster program to children in this age group. Epidemiologist Peter McIntyre says any booster shots should be administered to children aged 12-15 after six months rather than three, as they are at lower risk and the focus should be on immunising older and vulnerable people. Queensland recorded 5,589 new COVID-19 cases and 10 deaths on Tuesday; there were 10,689 new infections and six deaths in NSW, while Victoria reported 7,460 new cases and four deaths.
