. >> you mentioned j&j because that's the one that was a one-shot deal. so right now what we're hearing per nbc news the plan does not yet include those who received johnson & johnson. health officials say they anticipate boosters will be needed in that group as well but they expect more data from johnson & johnson in the coming weeks. can you explain why if johnson & johnson essentially acts the same way that pfizer and moderna do the additional booster shot is not being ordered for them? >> well, it's a timing issue because right now much of the johnson administration, j&j, took place in march and later whereas the mrnas started in january. in order to get the authorization for an additional boost, you have to get the fda authorization. we believe we have time, some wiggle room to do that before the people who got j&j will be at their eighth month, whereas the people who got it in january, the mrna vaccines, they're ready to do that right now in the middle, second, third week in september. that's the reason for the difference. nothing that's prejudiced against the j&j. it's a matter of timing
