confirmed cases surge in Australia, and the fourth shot can be received over 30 years old!
Winter is approaching, and confirmed cases in Australia are about to usher in another wave of outbreaks. The government accepted the advice of the Australian Immunization Technology Consulting Group (ATAGI) this afternoon, and then announced that htmlAustralians over 330 years old can choose to get the fourth shot. The previous suggestion was that only those over 50 years old were recommended to receive vaccination.
Starting from July 11, 7.4 million people can start receiving the fourth shot.
ATAGI strongly recommends that people over 50 get the fourth shot, while people aged 30 to 49 have the freedom to choose whether to get the vaccination. Young people under the age of 30 are not recommended for the fourth injection for the time being, and the relevant health assessment has not been confirmed. How long should
be between the third needle?
4 months.
However, if you are infected with the new coronavirus after the third injection, you must get the fourth injection 4 months after the infection. In some specific cases, vaccination can also be done in advance, but the interval cannot be less than 3 months.
According to the current vaccination statistics in Australia, the progress is not very fast. Only 54.1% of people received three shots, 84.4% of people received two shots, and 87% received at least one shot. At this rate, it is expected that two shots of vaccines will be completed in two years across Australia.
Virologists predict that the third wave of the epidemic in New South Wales will peak at the end of July and early August, and the situation in will be similar to when the virus was raging in January.
Unvaccinated international students can finally enter Australia, and the trial speed of study visas has accelerated!
Since July 6, that is, yesterday, the Australian border has been completely relaxed. International students who have not been vaccinated and other international travelers with valid visas can enter Australia, just like before the epidemic. Before
, passengers who had not received the approved vaccine could only apply for exemption from entry. In May this year, only 158 of the 1,000 unvaccinated travelers applied for approval, most of which were “compassionate reasons.”
This is great news for international students who have been taking online classes overseas but have received vaccines such as Wuhan Biology and CanSino . In addition, the speed of student visa review is also expected to accelerate, because the Australian government is currently fully promoting visa backlog.
