United States health advisers endorsed a one-dose COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson on Friday, putting the nation on the cusp of adding an easier-to-use option to fight the pandemic.
The acting head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in a statement that the agency will move quickly to follow the recommendation, which would make J&J’s shot the third vaccine authorised for emergency use in the US Vaccinations are picking up speed, but new supplies are urgently needed to stay ahead of a mutating virus that has killed more than 500,000 Americans.
After daylong discussions, the FDA panellists voted unanimously that the benefits of the vaccine outweighed the risks for adults. Once FDA issues a final decision, shipments of a few million doses could begin as early as Monday.
J&J’s vaccine protects against the worst effects of COVID-19 after one shot, and it can be stored up to three months at refrigerator temperatures, making it easier to handle than the previous vaccines, which must be frozen.

That misses the point, Sprint. The real issue is that we have no choice in the matter.
I hope I get the J&J vaccine because that is my preference, but I have no right to request same.

Black Orchid - I think we should have the choice of which one we get, if we want one.
I do not believe it is mandatory in Australia
