Booster after vaccination with Johnson & Johnson: This rule now applies in NRW

Hamm – Just a spade and the Corona * vaccination is through – that’s what prompted some people to opt for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine last year. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), around 806,000 people in North Rhine-Westphalia * received the vaccine called "Janssen" as a first vaccination. Now there is a new special rule in NRW for the booster vaccination after a dose of Johnson & Johnson, reveals wa.de*.

At the beginning of the booster campaign, the Johnson vaccinees were recommended to pick up a booster vaccination with an mRNA vaccine as soon as possible.

The background was the assessment of the Standing Vaccination Committee (Stiko) that the vaccination protection of "Janssen" was insufficient, reports wa.de *.

The second vaccination dose counted as a booster for people with a Johnson vaccination, thus exempting them from the test requirement for 2G-plus as well.

That is changing now.
