It has said it plans to deliver one billion doses in 2021 and will produce the vaccine in the United States, Europe, South Africa and India.
J&J said the vaccine would be ready immediately upon emergency approval, but Mr Stoffels declined to say how many doses. Unlike the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, J&J’s does not require a second shot weeks after the first or need to be kept frozen, making it a strong candidate for use in parts of the world where transportation and cold storage are an issue.Several studies have emerged this month showing that a South African variant has mutated in areas of the virus that are key targets of vaccines, reducing their efficacy.
In a sub-study of 6,000 volunteers in South Africa, Stoffels said, the J&J vaccine was 89 per cent effective at preventing severe disease. In the South Africa portion of the trial, 95 per cent of cases were infections with the South African variant.
That is a poor %. But $$$ talk
That’s barely a pass, it’s a D, no thanks.
correction: 66% effective in preventing moderate to severe COVID-19. Not directly comparable to other vaccines which have released phase 3 data on VE against 'symptomatic infection' (which includes mild infection). JnJ likely lower VE for this endpoint.
Therefore 44% completely bloody useless.
