More statements on the vaccine
Meanwhile, Dr Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, mentioned some vaccine-related statements. He has said that the government is likely to resume the use of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID vaccine this week.
Dr Fauci said he awaits a judgment when advisors to the CDC meet on Friday. The meeting will be to consider the pause in J&J’s single-dose vaccine.
The vaccine was thrown into uncertainty after the Food and Drug Administration and CDC last week. They said they needed more proofs to decide if a handful of rare blood clots were linked to the jab.
