US panel of experts: Corona boosters with Johnson & Johnson also recommended

Corona booster vaccinations are now also recommended by Johnson & Johnson. The vaccines from Biontech / Pfizer and Moderna had already received the green light from the FDA.

Following recommendations for the funds from Biontech / Pfizer and Moderna, a panel of experts from the US FDA has also spoken out in favor of corona booster vaccinations from Johnson & Johnson.

People vaccinated with Johnson & Johnson should be able to get a booster vaccination at least two months after their previous vaccination dose, the panel decided on Friday.

The panel’s recommendations are non-binding, but the FDA typically follows them. In this case, it should also be checked whether people vaccinated with Johnson & Johnson could possibly get a booster vaccination with Biontech / Pfizer or Moderna.

The panel had previously recommended booster vaccinations for the elderly and risk groups with funds from Biontech / Pfizer and Moderna. The booster vaccinations with the agent from Biontech / Pfizer have already been officially approved and started in the USA.

Around 170 million people in the USA have so far been vaccinated with the means from Biontech / Pfizer or Moderna, around 15 million with those from Johnson & Johnson.
