First 'Single-Shot' Coronavirus Vaccine By Johnson & Johnson Gets EU Approval

<p><strong>New Delhi:</strong> The European Union's drug regulating authority on Thursday granted conditional approval of Johnson &amp; Johnson's Cornavirus vaccine which is a single-use jab. As per reports, Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine is currently recommended for those above 18 years of age.</p> <p>The vaccine is fourth to be endorsed for use in the EU after jabs from Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca-Oxford University and Moderna got approval.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>ALSO READ | <span style="color: #e03e2d;"><a style="color: #e03e2d;" href="https://ift.tt/2PWnfPd Suggests Removal of &lsquo;Clinical Trial Mode&rsquo; Label For Covaxin, Know What It Means For Beneficiaries</a></span></strong></p> <p>The vaccine by Johnson &amp; Johnson is being said to be the game changer in Coronavirus vaccination drive which is currently being conducted worldwide. The vaccine is first-of-its-kind as it requires only a single dose, unlike other vaccines that need two doses spaced weeks apart.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Johnson &amp; Johnson does not even require freezer to store it, making it best suited for several hard-to-reach rural areas and unprivileged communities that have limited access to healthcare facilities.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>ALSO READ | <span style="color: #e03e2d;"><a style="color: #e03e2d;" href="https://ift.tt/3bzjsjd Weight Gain Putting People At Risk Of Kidney Ailments?

Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine has an efficacy level of 66 per cent, while the other vaccines made by pharma companies such as Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna have efficacy levels of at least 90 per cent.</p> <p>Meanwhile, Johnson &amp; Johnson has committed to deliver 200 million doses to the EU this year with 600,000 pencilled in to arrive in Ireland between April and June.</p>
