On Saturday, February 27, the United States granted emergency approval for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. This single-dose vaccine, which can be stored in refrigerator temperatures, combines with Pfizer / Bioendech and Moderna, in a massive vaccination campaign in the United States that killed more than 500,000 people.
After reading in detail the data of clinical trials conducted on more than 43,000 people, a panel of experts on Friday recommended that the U.S. company sell the vaccine.
At least three million doses of the product are ready for distribution early next week, according to the U.S. government. Johnson & Johnson has pledged to send 100 million doses to the United States by the end of June.
