Possible conditional vaccination without cancellation
“Whether it’s a booster shot?

Anthony Pouch, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the highest authority in infectious diseases in the United States, said that it is likely to be decided on the 23rd or so on whether or not Janssen, a J&J affiliate, will resume vaccination.

Pouch manager appeared on ABC broadcast on the 18th (local time) and said, “I don’t think (Jansen vaccine) will just be cancelled. I think there is a high possibility that there will be some form of warning or restriction,” he said. Regarding restrictions, he added, “I’m not sure what it will be, whether it will be age, gender, or what kind of warning it will come back with.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended that six American women aged 18 to 48 who received the Janssen vaccine on the 13th had a rare cerebral vein thrombosis and stopped vaccination. Is going on. At the moment, commissioned by the US government, an expert panel is evaluating the causal relationship between vaccination and blood clots. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is also analyzing blood clotting data, and it is expected to release safety guidelines around the 20th.

Pouch also said that the judgment on whether a booster shot (additional vaccination) is needed to reinforce the effectiveness of the Corona 19 vaccine will be made around the end of summer or at the beginning of autumn. If the US decides on Booster Shot, it is highly likely that the supply and demand of vaccines from countries around the world such as Korea will be more difficult.

In an interview with NBC that day, he replied “yes” when he was asked,’Is it about the end of the summer, which turns into a year for phase 3 exams?’ regarding the timing of the recommendation for booster shots. He explained, “From my perspective based on my experience (whether I need a booster shot) I will know at the end of summer and at the beginning of autumn.
