With regard to personnel deploying to mission overseas, the Defence Forces still require the primary schedule of Covid-19 vaccinations for all personnel due to deploy.
However, the Defence Forces have confirmed that the mandatory booster is no longer required for personnel who are (i) under 50 years of age, (ii) not immunocompromised and (iii) do not have a medical condition that puts them at higher risk of severe Covid-19 infection.
