FDA panel recommends Johnson & Johnson booster at least two months after first dose

FDA panel recommends Johnson & Johnson booster at least two months after first dose


A panel of advisers to the US Food and Drug Administration recommended today that people who received Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine get a booster dose at least two months after the initial shot.

The panel's unanimous recommendation, which is non-binding, did not set a firm time for receiving the booster, though. Johnson & Johnson has said the extra dose would be helpful as early as two months after the first shot, but it could work better at the six-month mark.

The news came one day after the panel recommended that certain recipients of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine get a half-dose booster shot at least six months after their initial doses.
