To minimise the risk of serious complications or death after COVID-19 infection, those at high risk, particularly the elderly and persons with underlying comorbidities, should receive a free JN.1 vaccine booster dose as soon as possible if they have received their last dose or had COVID-19 infection more than 6 months ago (whichever is later). Members of the public who have not received the initial dose(s) of the COVID-19 vaccine (including infants and children) should get free JN.1 vaccination as soon as possible.
