BERLIN, May 10 (Reuters) - Germany is lifting the
prioritisation for giving Johnson & Johnson s COVID-19
vaccine, Health Minister Jens Spahn said on Monday, adding that
any adult who wants it will be able to receive the shot on a
doctor s advice.
Europe s drug regulator backed J&J s vaccine last month
after examining cases of a rare blood clotting issue in U.S.
adults who received a dose. But it left it up to the European
Union s member states to decide how to use it.

Berlin, May 10 : Germany on Monday said it would administer the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine primarily to those aged 60 and above, but decided it could also be offered to younger people as long as their individual health risks had been considered.
The vaccine will therefore be given the same status as the AstraZeneca jab, which was last week cleared to be given to people younger than 60, as long as they had had a consultation with a doctor, reports dpa news agency.
