People who received a shot of the Johnson & Johnson
COVID-19 vaccine will be offered a second dose from a different drug maker,
Spain’s health authorities said on Wednesday.
Spain’s health ministry said that the Johnson & Johnson
vaccine has proven to be less effective than other vaccines. So Spaniards who
have received it will now be offered a booster shot of either the
Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna vaccines once three months have passed.
Only 1.9 million of the 37 million Spaniards who have been
vaccinated have received the J&J shot.
Spain boasts one of the most successful voluntary
vaccination campaigns in the world with 88% of its target population of 12
years and up fully vaccinated. -AP
