The findings come as the Biden administration is firming up plans to roll out booster shots to adults in late September.

Those plans have so far focused on shots from Moderna and Pfizer, in large part because federal regulators said they were waiting for the results of J&J's booster study. But the company is now positioning itself to join in the federal booster plan. Roughly 14 million people in the U.S. have received the J&J shot.
The company said that clinical trials found a booster shot of its one-dose vaccine increased Covid-19 antibodies ninefold one month after vaccination, compared to the levels seen one month after the first shot. J&J said this was true for people 18-55 as well as those over 65, who received a lower booster dose.
