A third dose for 16 and 17 year olds, sets them up for the best immunity against Covid

It means 36-thousand teens can walk into a vaccine centre and receive a third Pfizer dose ... six months after their second.
Paediatrician at Starship Children's Health Jin Russell says we don't know what kind of variants are going to come next, so they need the best protection.
She says having a third dose will also boost their protection against getting infected in the lead up to winter.
Russell says that will, in turn, reduce the burden of covid in our community.
