WASHINGTON (WJZ) — Johnson & Johnson’s new COVID-19 vaccine has been approved for emergency use, the Food and Drug Administration announced Saturday. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine, also known as the Janssen vaccine, can now be distributed in the U.S for use in individuals 18 years of age and older, the FDA said. The FDA found this week that Johnson & Johnson’s Baltimore-made vaccine is safe and effective at fighting COVID-19. In trials, the vaccine was approximately 67% effective in preventing moderate to severe/critical COVID-19 occurring at least 14 days after vaccination and 66% effective in preventing moderate to severe/critical COVID-19 occurring at least 28 days after vaccination, the FDA said. Today, FDA issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for the third vaccine for the prevention of #COVID19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. The EUA allows the vaccine to be distributed in the U.S for use in individuals 18 years and older. https://t.co/QooSCJWSX0 … [Read more...] about FDA Approves Johnson & Johnson’s New COVID-19 Vaccine For Emergency Use
