The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has provisionally approved a booster dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 18 years and older. The provisional approval means individuals aged 18 years and older may receive a booster (third dose) at least six months after the completion of a COVID-19 vaccine primary series.
