J&J COVID vaccine is 'safe and effective' — German official
Side effects in the newly approved Johnson & Johnson shot are very rare, says the head of Germany's vaccine regulator. But the health minister has dampened hopes of fast vaccinations for all from June.
The benefits of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine far outweigh the risks
The risk of blood clotting in people who have received Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines is extremely low, especially for the over-60 age group, a top German health official said Friday.
The president of Germany's Paul Ehrlich Institute, Klaus Chichutek, said reports of health damage from AstraZeneca were very rare and even rarer in the case of the J&J inoculation.
