JUST IN: FDA raises concerns over possible contamination at J&J vaccine plant

DURBAN - Millions of doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine are expected to be tossed due to possible contamination.

According to the New York Daily News, due to problems at a Baltimore factory that makes the J&J vaccine, federal regulators say that all the doses in question, approximately 60 million, should be discarded. The Food and Drug Administration said it was not confident that the company that controls the factory, Emergent BioSolutions Inc, had followed protocol. There is no word on whether the company has been closed down due to safety concerns.

South Africa only recently continued with the roll-out of the J&J vaccine following a voluntary temporary halt after eight women in the US experienced adverse side effects – blood clotting issues – after receiving the jab. this week reported that an FDA report found that the manufacturing rooms and corridors at the Emergent BioSolutions production plant, where key vaccine ingredients are made, had not been cleaned and were unsanitary.
