The Health Ministry says Johnson and Johnson booster shots will from Friday be available to people over 18 who received their first J&J vaccine at least two months ago. This comes after the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority approved the use of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine as a booster shot against theSAHPRA earlier this month also approved the Pfizer vaccine as a booster shot – six months after the second dose of the vaccine.
Deputy Director General at the Health Department Dr Nicholas Crisp says, “Johnson and Johnson is a single dose, not a double dose and the period which they boosted is two months. Anything between two and six months after the primary vaccination and that means from last night when we switched on the system, people who got one those of Johnson and Johnson may now go to any vaccination site and get a second dose which is now a booster dose.
“We have done 27.5 million doses of vaccine and there are about 17 million people have been vaccinated. So the good news is although we haven’t managed to reach the 70% adults, we have liked to reach by this time of the year. The good news is that we have reached large numbers of older people and we know that older people are more vulnerable.
I thought booster shots are made from the same ingredients as vaccines? The first time vaccinee(if there's ever the word) and the person who should receive a booster shot will be given the same medication 🤷♂️
Why not everyone?
I'm lost now, whatta? The 3rd and 4th boosters are also coming
A booster shot is a clear example that the vaccine doesn't work give up please...
Y though? 🤔
🙇♂️🙇♂️ will the symptoms be the same last
