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 dose of vaccine will be done with an mRna vaccine.
Based on available scientific data, protection from severe Covid-19 and hospitalization would remain stable with the J&J vaccine for up to six months.
According to ANSA, the scientific technical commission of the Italian Medicines Agency (Aifa) would have highlighted this.
Furthermore, with the passage of time, a slow decline in vaccination efficacy against mild and moderate forms of the disease would be highlighted.
In Lazio we will start immediately with the recall for those vaccinated with J&J from family doctors and pharmacies.
It is learned from the Department of Health.
It will be possible to book on the regional portal dedicated to anti-Covid vaccination at 180 days of the first dose.
