Germany is making the one-shot Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine available to all adults, as it did with the AstraZeneca vaccine, though the bulk of the expected deliveries is still some way off.

The country has recommended the AstraZeneca shot mainly for over-60s because of a rare type of blood clot seen in an extremely small number of recipients.
