MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - JULY 11: A pharmacist administers a COVID-19 vaccination booster shot to a customer at Exhibition Pharmacy on July 11, 2022 in Melbourne, Australia. More Australians are now eligible to receive a fourth dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, after the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) approved people aged 30 and above can access additional booster shots from Monday 11 July. While over 30s are now eligible for an additional dose if they choose, health authorities are strongly urging people over 50 to get the fourth COVID-19 vaccine booster and for people to wear masks indoors in public as coronavirus infections continue driven by Omicron subvariants.
