On Thursday, Johnson & Johnson released new data showing that its COVID-19 vaccine and booster shot offers significant protection against hospitalization caused by the omicron variant.
The first, a real-life study conducted in South Africa, showed that of the health care workers who had gotten a single dose of the vaccine and a booster shot, 85% of them were protected against the worst outcomes of the omicron variant. That study took place between mid-November and mid-December, when omicron accounted for the vast majority of new cases in the country.
"This adds to our growing body of evidence which shows that the effectiveness of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine remains strong and stable over time, including against circulating variants such as omicron and delta," said Dr. Mathai Mammen, Johnson & Johnson's global head of Janssen research and development."We believe that the protection could be due to the robust T-cell responses induced by the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
