Updates
Vaccinations for 5- to 11-year-olds
“While we await ATAGI’s advice, the TGA’s provisional approval of the Pfizer vaccine for children aged 5 to 11 is very welcome news for Victoria.
This is an effective vaccine that has been safely administered to millions of young children around the world.
Vaccinations are already a part of life for families with young children – and now we’ll have another one to help keep them as safe as possible at school and home.”
International travellers
From 9pm Saturday 4 December, fully vaccinated or medically exempt international travellers who enter Victoria after first landing from overseas in another state or territory must get a COVID-19 PCR test within 24 hours and quarantine for 72 hours from their arrival in Australia. Other restrictions apply including testing between days 5 and 7 post-arrival and limits on entering sensitive settings.
In line with NSW, fully vaccinated international travellers who arrive first into Victoria from overseas but are directly transiting to another state or territory can do so without needing to quarantine in Victoria. Entry restrictions may exist in other states and territories.
As previously outlined in the Chief Health Officer’s Directions, fully vaccinated travellers who were in one of eight extreme risk countries must still undertake 14 days’ hotel quarantine. The eight countries are: South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Malawi, and Mozambique.
All international travellers over 18 who are not fully vaccinated and arrive directly into Victoria from overseas must also undertake 14 days’ hotel quarantine – whether they visited one of the eight extreme risk countries or any other country.
Aircrew – Extreme Risk Country
All air crew, regardless of vaccination status, who have been in one of the eight extreme risk countries must quarantine for 14 days or until they leave Victoria (whichever is sooner). Australian-based aircrew can quarantine at home or in private accommodation while internationally based aircrew must enter hotel quarantine.
Aircrew – Other countries
All fully vaccinated air crew who arrive in Victoria from overseas must quarantine for 72 hours or until they leave Victoria (whichever is sooner), at home or in private accommodation. All unvaccinated aircrew must undertake 14 days of quarantine, unless they are directly transiting to another state or territory, or otherwise departing Victoria at some time during their quarantine period.
