Three new Omicron subvariants have reached Australia and health authorities say people who contract the virus should wait three months before getting their next COVID-19 vaccination.
Associate Professor Stuart Turville from the UNSW's Kirby Institute says Omicron subvariants BA.2.12.1, BA.4 and BA.5 have been detected in Australia.
Authorities are warning this winter season is likely to see a spike in COVID-19 cases and flu as restrictions which have suppressed the circulation of both viruses are phased out.
