A CDC scientist said Monday that people who have an allergic reaction to the first dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine could get the J&J vaccine instead at least 28 days later.
The CDC currently recommends that people who have a severe allergic reaction to either of the two-shot vaccines not get the second shot.
But J&J s one-shot vaccine could provide such patients a new opportunity to get protection against Covid-19.
Johnson & Johnson s Covid-19 vaccine can be used as a substitute for a second jab of Pfizer s or Moderna s shots for those who have an allergic reaction to the first round of either company s vaccine, a scientist for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday.
