J&J Seeking FDA Approval For Authorization Of Its COVID-19 Vaccine Booster

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

As per reports, Johnson & Johnson has submitted data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization of a booster shot of its COVID-19 vaccine in people aged 18 and above. The submission includes data from a late-stage study reporting a booster given 56 days after the first dose provided 94% protection against symptomatic COVID-19 in the United States and 100% safety at least 14 days after the booster shot.

The authority has already authorized a booster dose of the vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc and partner BioNTech for 65-year olds and older, for those at high risk of severe disease, and others regularly exposed to the virus. Rival vaccine maker Moderna has also submitted an application seeking authorization for a booster shot of its two-dose vaccine last month.

J&J is also planning to submit the data to other regulators, the National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups, the World Health Organization to inform decision-making on local vaccine administration strategies, as needed.
