BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany’s vaccine advisory committee recommends a booster mRNA COVID-19 vaccination shot for people who were inoculated with the Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:) vaccine, it said on Thursday.

The committee, known as STIKO, said it had seen higher COVID-19 breakthrough infections and a comparatively low vaccine effectiveness against the Delta variant among people who had had a single shot of the J&J vaccine.

The committee recommended booster shots to anyone over 70 regardless of the vaccine received.
