💉 Are you aged 30+?
💉 Has it been three months since you had COVID / received your last COVID vaccine?

If yes, you’re eligible for a booster. As @JT_Feehan + @vasssssso (@victoriauninews) write, it's the best way to prevent infection + severe disease. https://t.co/O6Sfk8aIZl

Vaccinated people are less likely to get COVID. And if they do, they clear the virus faster, with less virus overall, and have less time with very high levels of virus present, write @JT_Feehan @vasssssso https://t.co/y8iMM70NPY @victoriauninews

"How concerned should we be? Are vaccinated people just as contagious as unvaccinated? What does this mean for future plans for reopening?" VU's @vasssssso & @JT_Feehan in @ConversationEDU.

Regulators are reviewing data on the Pfizer vaccine before deciding whether to approve its use for 5 to 11 year olds.

@vasssssso + her @victoriauninews @UniMelb team explain what does the data say so far on the safety and efficacy of vaccinating children.

"While the risk of severe COVID in children is low, a small proportion of children who are infected will become severely unwell..."

No, COVID vaccines don't stay in your body for years.

Vaccines are cleared from your body in mere days or weeks. It’s the immune response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that appears to last for a long time.

Wondering how long the COVID vaccine remains in the body? Here is our article published today in the Conversation, which clarifies this. No, COVID vaccines do not stay in your body for years! @victoriauninews @JT_Feehan @iHealthSportVU https://t.co/77qpWXTcJC
