ZURICH (Reuters) – Swiss drugs regulator Swissmedic said on Monday it approved booster doses for Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine in people 18 years and older who have received a first vaccination.
The second dose of the vaccine can be administered, at the earliest, two months after the first dose, Swissmedic said in a statement.
It said mixed vaccinations with the J&J shot being administered six months after the second dose of Pfizer/BioNTech’s or Moderna’s mRNA vaccines were also authorised.
