The FDA has formally approved of the Johnson and Johnson Vaccine. This is a one does vaccine that could greatly ramp up the number of American's getting vaccinated across the country. Many scientists believe that with the addition of the third vaccine and the fact it is a single dose could be what turns the tide against the year-long (what has felt like 5 year long) pandemic. The company is expected to ship out 16 million doses to go along with the 4 million that they already have. With 20 million more American's vaccinated by just this one vaccine along with the numbers guided by the other two, there is a definite light at the end of this seemingly endless tunnel. Though this vaccine is less effective, 85% compared to 94% and 95%, the more people vaccinated undoubtedly assists in the plateau of COVID-19 cases and hopefully, ultimately rids of the deadly virus.
