Johnson and Johnson Vaccine Approved at a Pivitol Time in U.S.

     As concern grows for new variants of Covid19 arising, a third vaccine has officially been approved by the FDA for use in the United States. This vaccine is produced by Johnson and Johnson and as of last night was approved for reccomendation by the CDC. This vaccine in particular appears to be a game changer as it only requires a single dose to be effective and does not require subfreezing temperatures for preservation. This means it will be more accessible and easier to distribute to the population. Scientists say that the Johnson and Johnson vaccine has arrived at a pivitol moment as there is a threat of increasing cases in the coming weeks. Experts are urging the public to remain diligent and safe as the country works towards mass vaccination efforts.
