WASHINGTON — The U.S. is getting a third vaccine to prevent COVID-19, as the Food and Drug Administration on Saturday cleared a Johnson & Johnson shot that works with just one dose instead of two.
Health experts are anxiously awaiting a one-and-done option to help speed vaccinations, as they race against a virus that already has killed more than 510,000 people in the U.S. and is mutating in increasingly worrisome ways. The FDA said J&J’s vaccine offers strong protection against what matters most: serious illness, hospitalizations and death. One dose was 85% protective against the most severe COVID-19 illness, in a massive study that spanned three continents — protection that remained strong even in countries such as South Africa, where the variants of most concern are spreading.“The more vaccines that have high efficacy that we can get into play, the better,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top U.S.
Shipments of a few million doses to be divided among states could begin as early as Monday. By the end of March, J&J has said it expects to deliver 20 million doses to the U.S., and 100 million by summer. J&J also is seeking authorization for emergency use of its vaccine in Europe and from the World Health Organization. Worldwide, the company aims to produce about 1 billion doses globally by the end of the year. On Thursday, the island nation of Bahrain became the first to clear its use.The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

nj_covid Yes, but I hear J&J vaccine is only 85% effective. Moderna and Pfizer is 95% effective with second shot.
NancyMace Nancy Mace voted NO to COVID relief for America, Educators, Front Line Workers, Small Businesses & PEOPLE IN NEED. Some are her constituents. Under President Biden's plan vaccinations are way up & infections are down. THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN
RepFredUpton Hi guys, I would recommend a great Solar Lights seller on Amazon which I bought from and used for years, really got great fun and charming lighting atmosphere around house. Here is the beautiful solar garden lights I like so much :
I will be waiting to get the 'good stuff' (mRNA) vaccine. Even mild infection can leave you with lifetime problems (long haulers). J&J is only 60% effective at stopping infection.
NancyMace By not voting for COVID relief, Republicans like Nancy Mace show their lack of empathy and respect for: -Teachers & school staff -Front Line workers, nurses, doctors & staff -American citizens in need -Small business owners They all voted party & Trump over Country
Not surprised. The U.S approves a lot of poisonous products
It Probably will give you cancer like their baby power and be given to the black community first 😆😆😆😆
A single dose, more easily transported & stored vaccine can be a game changer in so many communities. Great news!
I hope I get Pfizer or Moderna....
Don’t listen to celebrity antivaxers. They don’t know more than scientists, but will misquote statistics to spread their message of ignorance, as well as the virus. Get a vaccine when you can, wear a mask. It seems too simple to work, but it does.
American shit is unreliable these days
Not an option unless you want the way lower odds of not getting COVID.
I'll get it just as long as you promise if I have an adverse reaction and develop a rash you'll treat it with some of that awesome asbestos laced talcum powder of yours. It's a big No for me.
Revelation 13:16-17 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation 18:4 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
No shot

The same company that sold talcum powder that was giving people ovarian cancer? Hard pass, brother

NancyMace Screw J&J. Their vaccine is junk
Can we Talk about BillGates Criminally Front Running the market as defined here; by him buying These Vaccine Stocks Evident here; With Their possible front research charity used to front to trade on information publically unavil.
Not a chance in hell I’d get theirs. They are unethical and only care about profit!
RealSaavedra Still not FDA approved, only approved for emergency use
Thank you Governor In Las Vegas give us information Vaccine of Johnson and Johnson
Brand loyalty
Yawn 🥱. Let’s get the Novavax vaccine approved
Poison
Seems rushed to me. From my understanding, anything that benefits the people has to be stagnant in House for two months, then denied. Then repeated. For more than twelve years.
Zombie Apocalypse here we come!
Amen
This is good. But the US Gov is playing protectionist games by not approving other vaccines like AstraZeneca (because not an American company).
66% efficacy and they call it a vaccine. What a joke, and egregious misuse of emergency authorization.
Why does it sound like such a shitty vaccine when they describe it as a race?
So tired of the only narrative we hear being the one that promotes 'vaccines': harmless spikes? says who? Benefits outweigh the risks... get what you can get... there are concerns for good cause, and they deserve to be heard.
Is this same company that didn't tell women notbtobude on them self's and babies. I'll pass thanks
I thought vaccines and medications take years.... not weeks or months. I truly hope it works though!
They need to grant these nuts emergency authorization cause im not taking none of those poison shots 👌🏻
F that y’all can have it
Good. As close as possible to russian vaccine. Same principle. Vector vaccine. When we can not get Sputnik-V - J&J is the next best thing
I'm so upset with Biden! I think he's slipping! Our very lives are at stake and he's admitting people here our very lives are at stake do I need to repeat it again! I've talked to people who are here that came over here alone! They were never taught about their civilization!
We all know Johnson and Johnson! We know they wouldn't screw up and hurt us! Ists just a shame so many loved ones arent here! Moving forward we have to stop the entrance of people into this country in till we have saved American lives rid of covid!
Johnson & Johnson’s recalls are very comforting. Baby powder, children’s Tylenol & Motrin. Regular Tylenol. Don’t forget they almost stopped the trial because of an unusual reaction. Let’s go ahead & approve it anyway. Just human life on the line
YESSSS! I think🤔 I can finally get the vaccine. High risk person here with major injection rejection history. I understand this vaccine has the least reactions compared to Mederna & Pfizer covid vaccines? Yes? No? Anybody out there in Twitterverse know? Doctors? Nurses?
The company that brought you cancerous talcum powder and contaminated drinking water

Us who. This whole thing is a scam.. wake up .
SylvrewolfeP LOL ... or a third option to the race to see which company's stock improves the most.
$ 👍

Line up and get your cancer and paralysis. 🤪
Agree with her
IslandGirlPRV 💙
Thank God for Operation Warpspeed!!
If a state has totally mismanaged the rollout of vaccines so far (I'm thinking of you Larry Hogan, Governor of Maryland), it won't matter how many vaccines are approved. We are dealing with a complete balls up here. Wish us well.
I’ve been waiting for this day for months! So glad it’s finally here.
Why would anyone get a vaccine knowing that it does not prevent the virus and you still have to wear masks and it is literally the same thing going on? I guess people are that desperate to thinking that they are going to get out of wearing a mask however that is not the case
Great news today ! 💪
It's good that there are more options to get Covid-19 shots! The more the merrier and that way more people can be taken care of! 👍😊
Not getting it....
Any of the operation mockingbird crew gonna report that it'll still be two years before anyone can legally declare mandatory vaccinations? Or do the elite still hold your balls
Here’s where they are going next week.
Rootbeermylove1 like i’m gonna take a vaccine from a company that puts babies in blenders to make baby oil
I’ll take this vaccine
Everyone except you I hope
Woo! Gimme gimme!!
We all know Johnson bullshit ain’t gOoD
RealSaavedra
J & J about as safe as a house on fire...
girl they baby powder was giving mfs OVARIAN CANCER so what i look like getting they vaccine?
Oh no.. don’t trust Johnson & Johnson’s far as I can spit
Big pharmacy and supply & demand complement each other so well
Yes, more vaccines!!! Herd immunity here we come.
I hope this isn't fake news.
Glad this one doesnt need refrigeration/freezer. Game changer logistically.
Cleared but is it approved?
😂👎
cazoretlos mickeylitious maybe I’ll qualify for this one
In my hometown Johnson & Johnson is under scrutiny for contaminating the local water source to undrinkable levels. Glad to see they were given such a big contract, maybe now they can invest in proper disposal procedures.
GTFOH.
There’s three COVID-19 vaccines but Flint, Michigan still doesn’t have clean water 🤔.
Yeah they both have amazing reputation for safety 🥰
People I know have been suffering horribly from these vaccines. They say they would rather catch it than take the vaccination ever
I'm getting that this Wednesday. Hope for the best.
Vaccines and meth it’s what they do best.
BillGates US approves J&J (JNJNews) COVID-19 shot, adding a vaccine option. But maybe US vaccines are harmful to Sino-Koreans, Sino-Turkics, Sino-Uralic e.g. Katri Kulmuni at MarinSanna. Sinovac may be better, but is the export version trustworthy?
Still going to take forever for the general public to get it. The distribution process needs to be better. As it stands now, it’s a mess on the local level.
This calls for a Celebration!!!!! Time to 'POP' the bubbly!
The FDA said J&J’s vaccine offers strong protection against what matters most: serious illness, hospitalizations and death. One dose was 85% protective against the most severe COVID-19 illness, in a massive study that spanned three continents.

ScienceBitches!
Me checking if it’s Johnson’s baby oil
Are you talking about the virus with a +99% survival rate?.... theres no need to vaccinate an entire population. That's what your immune system is for. 🙄...
No one cares. 🥱

yay
Sign me up!
Good let's get rid of this damn virus. Get your shot(s) wear your mask and wash your hands. We can do this.
yeah Johnson and Johnson has an AMAAAZING reputation for safety. Like the talc based baby powder etc etc. Why do people want to commit suicide trusting FALSE PHARMA over something with a 99 % recovery rate?
More of the Biden Cure for that trump virus
and not a moment too soon. March and April will be tough. Should see improvements after that.
From Australia: Great news, the vaccine combined with dropping infections should ensure a speedy path to the other side, you have had a hard time but things are starting to pay off,congratulations from AUS.
