Americans who received Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine should be able to receive a second shot of the vaccine two months after their first dose under an emergency authorization, FDA vaccine advisory committee members said in a 19-0 vote.
The independent vaccine experts’ vote came after an hours-long discussion of the underlying data J&J submitted to the FDA. The company had proposed a booster after two months for people at high risk, such as the elderly, and after six months for most people.
The panel’s recommendation will now be taken into consideration by the agency, which now must decide if it will amend the company’s emergency use authorization to allow a second dose to be taken by those that received an initial J&J shot.
