The US Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday that it is limiting the emergency use authorization of the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen Covid-19 vaccine to people 18 and older for whom other vaccines aren't appropriate or accessible and those who opt for J&J because they wouldn't otherwise get vaccinated.
Today's action demonstrates the robustness of our safety surveillance systems and our commitment to ensuring that science and data guide our actions."
Examples of people who may still get the vaccine include:
- Those who had a severe allergic reaction to an mRNA vaccine.
- Those with personal concerns about the mRNA vaccines who would remain unvaccinated without the J&J vaccine
- Those with limited access to mRNA Covid-19 vaccines.
More than seven million people in the United States have received Johnson & Johnson shots. Just a thought.
