On the vaccine front, there was some good news from Johnson & Johnson yesterday. The company released data showing that their vaccine appears safe and produces promising results. This particular vaccine is especially notable in that it requires one dose instead of two.
In an early 805-person trial, many of the volunteers built up antibodies about a month after being inoculated, and everyone had those antibodies after about two months.
There were some side effects, which included fever and fatigue, as well as achiness.
Data from the phase three trial (which consists of 45,000 participants) is expected to be released before month’s end.
“We have three months stability as of this moment at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius [or 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit],” said Johnson & Johnson officer Dr. Paul Stoffels. “That will be expanded over the year as we generate more stability data.”
If everything goes well, when could we expect to see emergency use authorization?
