FDA Advisory Panel Endorses J&J Booster

WASHINGTON (CBSLA/AP) — A panel from the Food and Drug Administration endorsed booster doses of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine. 

The FDA panel recommended booster shots should be offered at least two months after immunization but did not suggest a firm time. While the panel endorsed, the Johnson & Johnson booster shots, it still awaits full approval from the FDA.
