Johnson & Johnson has asked the US Food and Drug Administration to authorize booster shots for its coronavirus vaccine, but has left it up to the FDA and the US CDC to decide just who should get their boosters and when.

Johnson & Johnson said Tuesday it has asked the US Food and Drug Administration to authorize booster shots for its coronavirus vaccine, but has left it up to the FDA and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to decide just who should get their boosters and when.

"We're describing the data to them," Dr. Mathai Mammen, head of global research and development for J&J's vaccine arm, Janssen, told CNN."The process is not that we asked for a very specific interval -- we're providing them data and we're going to be presenting to the committee. They'll take all that into consideration when they ultimately decide on an appropriate interval.

Janssen says its vaccine is designed to elicit a strong cellular response. Vaccines stimulate the production of both antibodies -- the first line of defense against invaders -- and immune cells known as B cells and T cells."It is the reason we have a long-lived response," Mammen said.According to the CDC, about 15 million people in the US have received a J&J Covid-19 vaccine.

Shouldn’t the organisation manufacturing the vaccine be the ones to decide on when people need it?

STOP BULL SHITTING THE WORLD AMERICA. We can't elect a President who is in best years of age, health or someone who is not a psychopath or a dementia ridden communist & then claim to be leader of the free world. This leads to chaos as in Afghanistan, in Burma & in America.
