While progress is being made in this line, there is an issue on the table that still does not have a response from the Ministry of Health and the autonomous communities, such as the fact that give a second dose of Janssen to people who were given what was the single dose from Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical. Some vials that should help accelerate the rate of vaccination, although, finally, this was not the case due to the continuous delays in shipments and the controversy caused by causing possible thrombotic episodes.
In Spain, about two million people have been immunized with this vaccine, while in the province of Castellón, only 36,793 were inoculated, a reduced figure considering that about 450,000 people from Castellón have the complete schedule, which represents almost 90% of the population over 12 years of age.
Without a doubt, heThe part most interested in opening the debate on a booster dose is that of the pharmaceutical companies that have been using this premise for weeks to reinforce antibodies, although most experts are only in favor, a priori, of inoculating this third prick to risk groups that received the doses of Moderna and Pfizer. Specifically, Johnson & Johnson recommends giving another dose eight months after the first puncture.
Despite this, the suitability of injecting another dose of Janssen is on the table of the Vaccine Report, the Public Health Commission and the Interterritorial Council of the Health System, following the recommendations of some experts from the first of these organizations, made up of technicians from the communities. At the moment, there is no position in this regard, after the Vaccine Report will raise this proposal due to the appearance of outbreaks in penitentiary institutions during the fifth wave, despite the vaccination. The prison group, like others such as homeless people, received the single dose.
