Aifa, green light to the recall for those who made the J&J vaccine

The Aifa commission has given the green light to the booster 6 months after the first dose for those vaccinated with J&J.

This is what we learn at the end of the meeting.

The second inoculation for those who have made J&J will be carried out with an mRna vaccine, therefore Pfizer or Moderna. The third Modern dose is authorized for the over 18s, the Pfizer one for the over 12s.

Based on the available scientific data, protection from severe Covid-19 and hospitalization would remain stable with the J&J vaccine for up to six months.

This is what the scientific technical commission of the Italian Medicines Agency would have highlighted. Furthermore, with the passage of time, a slow decline in vaccination efficacy against mild and moderate forms of the disease would be highlighted.
