The new bivalent vaccines are preferred for booster doses.

The Victorian Department of Health advises that Victorians who return a positive COVID-19 result and can’t get an appointment with their GP can access the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (VVED). The VVED can assess patients, determine their eligibility for COVID-19 medications, and prescribe these medications.
