White House says pause on Johnson & Johnson vaccine 'will not have a significant impact on our vaccination plan'
CNN
The White House said Tuesday that the recommended pause in the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine would "not have a significant impact on our vaccination plan" to administer 200 million shots by the end of April, even as new questions mount about how the move could affect the willingness of Americans to receive shots.
"Johnson & Johnson vaccine makes up less than 5 percent of the recorded shots in arms in the United States to date," White House Covid-19 coordinator Jeff Zients said in a statement. "Based on actions taken by the President earlier this year, the United States has secured enough Pfizer and Moderna doses for 300 million Americans. Over the last few weeks, we have made available more than 25 million doses of Pfizer and Moderna each week, and in fact this week we will make available 28 million doses of these vaccines."
