Over 90,000 J&J recipients went back for unauthorized dose
Fox News
Over 90,000 people who received the Johnson & Johnson one-shot COVID-19 vaccine returned for one or more additional unauthorized doses, experts advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Friday.
Some 90,979 J&J shot recipients returned for one or more additional COVID-19 vaccine doses, or less than 1% of approximately 12 million J&J jab recipients, according to slides presented during an Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meeting. It wasn't clear whether they sought additional vaccine under a physician's guidance. Though concerns have surfaced over potentially reduced vaccine protection in the face of concerning viral variants, Johnson & Johnson recently told Fox News it remains confident in its COVID-19 vaccine's ability to prevent severe illness, hospitalization and death amid the spread of the highly transmissible delta variant.More Related News
