A highly accurate point-of-care neutralising antibodies (NAb) test for COVID-19 has been developed by @BurnetInstitute and @TheDohertyInst researchers. The 20 min test could be used to indicate when a vaccine booster may be required.

“Omicron is a clarion call for Australia to do much, much more to help vaccinate the people of PNG,” warns Dr @StefVaccher who is based in Port Moresby. 🇵🇬 is a candidate for next variant if 🇦🇺 doesn’t help boost jabs. @AusHCPNG @ACFID https://t.co/yxO7kxmnyB
Dr @StefVaccher highlights the lower vaccine rates in PNG (~1 in 20) compared to other countries where variants are being discovered. There is risk of wide spread transmission and potential PNG variants of community based approaches aren't prioritised
