'When a vaccine becomes available, take it,' the infectious diseases expert said Sunday, following FDA authorization of Johnson & Johnson's COVID vaccine.

"We want to get as many people vaccinated as quickly and as expeditiously as possible," Fauci told CNN while addressing the Johnson & Johnson FDA authorization."This is good news, because we have a new very good vaccine in the mix."Meet the Press

Johnson & Johnson announced their expectation of having 20 million doses available in just a matter of days. Documents released by the FDA last week found J&J's single-shot vaccination is 86 percent effective at preventing serious disease overall, but was low as 64 percent in South Africa tests. Although that percentage is much lower compared to Moderna and"It's not the weaker vaccine, they are all three really good vaccines," he said.

"The message that needs to be prevailed is that these are three highly efficacious vaccines. I have been fully vaccinated with one that was available, it was the Moderna. If I were not vaccinated now, and I had a choice of getting a J&J vaccine now or waiting, I would take whatever vaccine is available to me as soon as possible."
