Vaccine developer Johnson and Johnson has announced its single-shot vaccine is 85 per cent effective against the most serious symptoms of COVID-19.

A trial of up to 44,000 volunteers found it prevented hospitalisation across all demographies and against multiple variants.

The level of protection against moderate and severe COVID-19 was 72 per cent in the US, 66 per cent in Latin America, and 57 per cent in South Africa. This vaccine does not need to be kept frozen, meaning it's a good candidate for countries with weaker infrastructure. The company plans to seek emergency use authorisation from the US Food and Drug Administration next week.

Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine shown to be effective against COVID-19The single-shot option is not as strong as some of its two-shot rivals, however it could be potentially helpful for a world in dire need of more doses. MarieAnneLeCler Only 66% effective is NOT good. I would never request this vaccine. judy_armes Tell me, if a vaccine even has 95 % efficacy is it stil less than getting the virus without a vaccine? I am confused by efficacy. 66% average efficacy, based on low numbers in South Africa, means a possible 85% in Australia in reality, depending virus variants in play. Single dose is the real bonus for J&J, plus enormous manufacturing capabilities means better coverage. Need to see ingredients.
