Experts are urging people to get their COVID booster jab as a new, more infectious variant emerges in Australia. The World Health Organization has designated the new NB.1.8.1 strain as a "variant under monitoring" and it's now the dominant variant in China and Hong Kong. Health experts say the new variant could soon become the dominant strain in Australia and is being detected ‘pretty much everywhere’ in Australia. Early reports show the variant has a higher infection rate, but that existing vaccines are still effective, according to the Australian Medical Association.
