Johnson & Johnson Statement on U.S. FDA Approval of Shelf Life Extension for Company’s COVID-19 Vaccine

We are pleased to confirm the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has extended the shelf life for the Johnson & Johnson single-shot COVID-19 vaccine to six months. The decision is based on data from ongoing stability assessment studies, which have demonstrated the vaccine is stable at six months when refrigerated at temperatures of 36 – 46 degrees Fahrenheit (2 – 8 degrees Celsius). Expiration dates will be updated on www.vaxcheck.jnj, where vaccine providers can confirm the latest expiration dates of our vaccine.
