The US Food and Drug Administration has agreed to extend the expiry date of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid vaccine to six months, pushing it out for the second time as states “drowning” in jabs struggle to get rid of them.
The Big Pharma firm said in a statement on Wednesday that the FDA had approved the new expiration date, adding that the decision had been “based on data from ongoing stability assessment studies, which have demonstrated the vaccine is stable at six months.”
The regulator said in a letter to J&J that the extended shelf life would also apply to batches that had previously expired as long as they had been stored at a specified temperature.
