The Australian government are implying jabs need to be done every 5 months or less?
Yes, at the moment
6 months - mandatory
5 months - optional
The plan is to encourage people to maintain high levels of immunity post-vaccine so they might drop it to 4 moths optional since moderna, pfizer and astra zeneca lose their shielding ability against re-infection of after 4 months.
Now in Australia, they're shortening the gap for booster shots to 4 months from 4 January next year, and then shortening it again to 3 months from 31 January. I guess it's because omicron is spreading like wildfire here.

It's also a little confusing. But for me it seems I'll be eligible for my booster shot in about 4 weeks time.
