In other Coronavirus news, a two-dose version of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has provided a 94% protection against symptomatic infection according to the company. Johnson & Johnson said adding the booster dose to a single shot vaccine also raised immunity even more and should also protect people strongly against infection.
In a statement, global head of Hanson research and development Dr. Mathai Mammen said “our single-shot vaccine generates strong immune responses and long-lasting immune memory. And, when a booster of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine is given, the strength of protection against Covid-19 further increases.”
