Six more people have died with COVID-19 and the number of hospitalisations has increased as South Australia moves to cut the interval for a booster vaccine to three months. 7NEWS

response plan increases the number of South Australians eligible for their booster by about 25 per cent and will maximise our booster coverage, arming even more South Australians against the new variant by providing even better protection for the entire community,” the premier said.

“The more South Australians get boosted, the sooner we can look to reduce restrictions and get back to a more normal life.” Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said increasing the number of South Australians who had received their third dose would substantially reduce case numbers, hospitalisations and deaths.

“We know that the third dose provides a far better level of protection against the Omicron variant, so reducing the interval required to get this dose will give people the best protection possible even sooner,” Professor Spurrier said.
