Australia drops COVID jab recommendation for healthy under-18s, citing potential harms

Australia COVID vaccine news

In a significant policy shift, the Australian Department of Health and Aged Care has announced that COVID-19 vaccines are no longer recommended for healthy individuals under the age of 18.

The decision, published in the Australian Immunisation Handbook on June 3 marks a notable reversal in the nation’s vaccine guidance for children and adolescents.

The advisory states that healthy infants, children, and teenagers without underlying medical conditions should not receive the COVID-19 vaccine, as the risks associated with vaccination may outweigh the benefits for this group. Officials cite the “extremely low” risk of severe illness in healthy young people throughout the pandemic as a key factor in the decision.

While the government continues to recommend vaccination for those with medical vulnerabilities, this update acknowledges growing concern over potential harms linked to COVID-19 vaccines in younger, low-risk populations.

The move has reignited debate over the global vaccination rollout and the balance of risk in state public health interventions.

Last week prominent pro-jab scientist Michael Baker urged all New Zealanders to get their latest mRNA booster due to claims the “NB.1.8.1 subvariant” was sweeping the country.

    • The they would have to admit that Barry Young was right and they were wrong and worst. Our “crime syndicate” can’t have that now, can they.

  1. So they will keep targeting those with “medical vulnerabilities” to further disable them and kill them off.

    While they stop targeting the healthiest among us after our immunities have maximised.

  2. Recommendation is not a word that fits when millions of people lost their employment, couldn’t go to a restaurant, couldnt go for a drive across town. Couldnt get a haircut.

    Police given the power to hold someone down to be injected isnt a recommendation.

    I encourage all to defend their lives with as much force necessary to disarm, disabled or get away from anyone including police who force you to be injected with this known deadly poison.

    The USA is cleaning house and the full disclosure of the genocide will be published by the secretary of health. Genocide. Is an international crime and the penalties include life imprisonment and execution.

    • Couldnt get a haircut”” ? Well I learnt a new habit. I bought my own hair cut kit for around $21 or maybe $22 nearly 4years ago after youtube told me I could cut my own hair. But my method is different – I do it outside in the backyard so no clean up is needed inside. Extension cord out to the back window to plug the clippers in. Then I use the back window as a mirror – the hinge on the window turns it into an adjustable mirror. Window in one hand and clippers in the other – and it takes me 5min to cut my own hair and another 5min to clean and oil the clippers for next time. Saves me loads of time and over $400 per year in 2021 dollars. Haven’t a clue what haircuts cost since 2021.

    • They are murderers, not retarded, they know exactly what they are doing.
      Which is genocide.
      And still some fully comply…
      Do not comply, you are allowing them to murder you in the most henious way possibe.
      Lot of jab injured suffering immense pain and will die in short order.

  3. Australia was one of the very worst offenders, during the global COVID dictatorship. I wont soon forget the scenes of their brutal cops abusing people, even the elderly. Now even they have had no choice but to put up their hands, because they know they will face a real health crisis, if they don’t, as opposed to the fake one touted during the scamdemic.

    That said, the need for real justice remains. Politicians, public servants and police, need to be properly investigated. of course, that means we need people to stop voting for globalists and I suspect, we still have a way to go, there.

    • NZ has the ACC regime to keep remedies secret here but Australia doesn’t so it will be entertaining to watch the inevitable class action law suits in Australia which would no doubt start now.

  4. So, on one hand they say that the risk of serious adverse events in children outweighs the benefit, on the other hand they will continue to give the jab to children who already have health complications, adding to their risk of another serious health complication or death. Why are people cheering this as any kind of improvement or win?

  5. So they have now decided to only kill off certain sectors of the population, namely the sick of all ages or
    the elderly, we all eventually become sick or elderly so will it be okay then? No, it was never okay to murder
    people.

    Police are supposed to protect us from harm, yet they let this go on and even assisted in enforcement of it.
    What can you expect from Po Lice, yes that is bugs in a toilet, one of the lowest life forms..

    So sick of watching my jabbed friends suffer and die, every week it gets worse.

  6. You would think that after five years of this crap governments and health authorities would have realised that jabs are not the answer. Vitamins C, D and Zinc to boost immunity and a supply of Ivermectin to be taken if needed.

    • So what conclusion can you draw from their actions.
      They are either very dumb or they want to slowly kill you in a way that it not obvious to most.

  7. Once one recognises the real science, rather than the ersatz policy driven scientivism whether, “viruses” (the imaginary existence of a unique ‘germ’ – the unseen obligate intracellular parasite upon which much of Pharma”medicine” hinges, or “climatism” (designed to delegitimise, and inflict destitution, de-industrialisation, depopulation) or “saturated fats” or “SSRIs or “SNRIs” or “diazepines” or “white flour” or “white sugar” or “no fibre” or “glycophosphate”… or … “banks” and “corporations,” “BigMedia and BigGOV”. ..on and on … a very long litany of entities and profiteering parasites that shorten your life or kill you….most people still sadly sucking up the kool aid.
    Not the way to survive or thrive.

  8. Meanwhile the main protagonists escape the net
    Just like in NZ
    Very little is being said about this
    Because all are implicated complicit in collusion and collaboration
    And after all nobody likes to be labelled a hypocrite
    Which is exactly what they are
    If not through tacitness

  9. Too little too late dont you think. Damage and life loss has been done. Kudos to all who stood strong and are still with us today.
    All involved should be prosecuted for coercive control.
