The US has more than 9 million doses of Johnson & Johnson's coronavirus vaccine ready to be administered if federal health officials lift their recommended pause of the one-shot vaccine, CNN has learned.
President Joe Biden's coronavirus adviser Jeff Zients told CNN there are more than 9 million doses that have already been distributed to states, tribes, territories and federal channels that are ready to go, depending on the conclusion reached by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) -- a panel weighing whether to recommend a change in federal guidance on the vaccine. On April 13, the CDC and the US Food and Drug Administration recommended pausing the administering of the one-dose Johnson & Johson coronavirus vaccine after six reported cases of women who developed a rare blood clotting syndrome after receiving the vaccine in the United States.More Related News
