A fourth batch of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine made in a plant shut down by the FDA can now be used

A fourth batch of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine made in a plant shut down by the FDA can now be used, the agency said Friday after checking the batch for safety, but the plant is still not allowed to make new vaccines.... [+]The batch of the vaccine’s active ingredient could make “up to 15 million doses,” an unnamed sourceThe FDA ran a quality test and checked records to make sure the batch was safe, the agency said in a statement.

The Emergent BioSolutions plant in Baltimore, Maryland is not cleared to begin making new doses of the vaccine, the FDA said.The FDA shut down the Emergent plant in April after inspectors found cross-contamination with materials for another vaccine. The agency has been checking batches that were already made to see if they’re safe, forcing some batches—worth tens of millions of doses—to be thrown out. The FDA approved three previous batches in June.
