There has been confusion regarding the impact of changes to the eligibility period for COVID-19 booster doses and the implications for health and disability workers covered under the Health Order.  We have now had further advice and understand that workers who fall under this category have to have their booster within 183 days after their primary course (not 3 months as previously advised).  Please note however that they are now eligible for their booster from 3 months onwards, so it is recommended that health and disability workers take up this opportunity to have their booster earlier than mandated.
