ATAGI's COVID-19 Vaccine Utilisation and Prioritisation Sub Group held meetings in September 2020 to develop preliminary vaccination priority guidance. The first meeting (15 September) focused on finalising ATAGI's COVID Vaccine Preliminary Advice document and prioritisation matrix, with actions to refine the advice by removing colour coding, listing prioritisation principles without ranking, and mapping cohorts to principles with caveats for unavailable information. The second meeting (22 September) reviewed the prioritisation document and discussed overarching strategy for different scenarios, identifying the need for additional data modelling expertise. Members included immunisation experts Katie Flanagan, Jodie McVernon, and Kanta Subbarao, alongside NCIRS technical staff and Department of Health representatives. No conflicts of interest were declared across either meeting.
