The U.S. has purchased 100 million total doses of the vaccine, and Johnson & Johnson expects to have 20 million available by the end of March. Because it is a single-dose vaccine that only requires standard refrigeration, it will be much easier to deploy than other vaccine options.
The vaccine, which was developed by Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine arm Janssen Biotech, would be the third coronavirus vaccine approved by the agency. FDA staff released a brief earlier this week that found the vaccine has a “favorable safety profile.”
Clinical trials of the vaccine in the U.S. showed an efficacy of 72% in preventing moderate to severe disease after one month.
Over 70 million doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been administered in the U.S., according to a tracker from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Vaccinations are “our path out” of the pandemic, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at a press briefing on Friday.
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee will meet over the weekend to vote on recommendations for the vaccine.
