Medical Topic:
Capaxive, the new Pneumococcal vaccine, listed for all ove 65 yo and some others, is available, though it has been in short supply. Typical!
Arexvy, the new RSV vaccine is now listed for over 75 yo, better than the $300 + it was until recently.
Covid vaccine eligibility has been reduced to those over 65 yo and in other high risk groups. This does not mean COVID has gone away, as we have had some large recent outbreaks, especially in Aged Care, and still more people are dying from COVID than Influenza in the past year.
