What about Johnson & Johnson?
The evidence and expert recommendations are rather robust and clear when it comes to booster shots for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, but what about Johnson & Johnson? As the HHS said in their statements, more research is still required before a J&J booster shot can be approved. They do believe a booster shot will be needed for those who received the J&J, but note that, because far less people received this vaccine compared to the Moderna and Pfizer and because the J&J vaccine has not existed for as long as the others, more data is needed before decisions can be made.
