New COVID-19 vaccines will likely arrive in Australia in the coming months, experts say, and they might target different variants. This is why.
New COVID-19 vaccines are set to be released in the coming months — and they're expected to target different variants. The first of the updated shots are expected to become available in the United States in August or September, and experts say they'll likely reach Australia by the end of this year. But the situation could be a little different compared to recent years. The US Food and Drug Administration first asked vaccine manufacturers to target the JN.
Professor Adrian Esterman, chair of biostatistics and epidemiology at the University of South Australia, said Australians will likely be offered one or both of the vaccines "by the end of the year" once TGA approves them and they can be imported from overseas. Australia doesn’t currently manufacture COVID-19 vaccines and instead has five agreements for their supply from overseas.
