Investing.com – An advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration on Friday recommended approval of emergency authorization for Johnson & Johnson's single-dose Covid-19 vaccine, paving the way for a third vaccine to enter the fray and help lead the fight against the pandemic.  

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) rose 1.6% in aftermarket hours

The FDA could grant that emergency use authorization over the weekend. It comes just days after the agency said the vaccine was 66.1% effective in preventing moderate-to-severe Covid-19 cases after 28 days. 

The efficacy of the drug differed across geographies amid new variants. It was 72% effective in the U.S., 66% in Latin America and 57% in South Africa. While the vaccine was less effective at preventing illness in South Africa, it was still highly effective at preventing severe disease. The pharmaceutical giant's vaccine results, released on late-January Jan. 29, initially drew a lukewarm reaction from market participants following the 90%+ efficacy levels of other vaccines including Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA)'s and Pfizer (NYSE:PFE)'s mRNA vaccines. 

Analysts, however, welcomed the late-stage initial clinical results and highlighted that JNJ's vaccine, with an 85% effective in preventing severe disease and hospitalizations/death, two primary drivers of the lockdowns and restrictions, would play a key role in reopening of economies.

It's really good news for One Shot covid vaccine.
Buy every vaccine and distribute. CDC needs to stop playing actor on television and focus on that. Their business is science not television.
Feel free to ignore Novavax's 95.6% efficacy
weird how there's no more flu. now we just have covid. hospitals are telling staff to write all flu like sicknesses as covid.

I was in the NYC's ER on Thursday and they were packed with Covid patients
Look at the wise guys here know more than big pharmas.
So far all I've seen is several nurses saying the hospitals are ********people, ****nurses flashing white supremacists signs, a black nurse catching a white nurse trying to ****an Indian man. Larry king himself said he didn't die from covid-19
from the people who gave us tainted baby food and other toxic products. Who else sees a problem as to why people wouldn't want to take this?

this is not how any of this works! the immune system works by a lock and key arrangement. the virus is the key and antibodies are the lock. the vaccines are inactive "key" parts, and your body has a set of building blocks it randomly assembles to brute force identifying bad things. so time is not on your side of this doing anything. it won't hurt, but it's not in anyway a curative. secondly, the people that die of covid have almost an allergic reaction to the key, their "locks" say ******* this and ******* everything.
No thanks I’ll pass
People will get it as long as it does not inhibit them from getting a higher quality vaccinr like moderna or pfizer
You dont need a vaccine when you can prevent it (and most disease) with a healthy diet, exercise, plenty of rest, a positive attitude, sunlight, vitamin C, D, selenium, magnesium, zinc, and quercitin. If you get sick, just take the same supplements along with hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. This is one of many reasons God tells is not be like this world!
I'm yet to see all these severely I'll people..
Let me take a picture of the refrigerator trucks in NYC back in April and May.
I dont understand the need to see the I'll? you believe they are exaggerating? hard to fake dying. I suppose I dont understand the question.
If there is such a thing as Trumpster ignorance why did he intiate Operation Warp Speed. He also assured Americans, and the world that there would be a vaccine by year end. His opposition accused him of BS for saying it. Stop basing your opinions on biased media.
Doesn't emergency use mean the same thing as the last resort?
No, it means they wanted to take their time before giving the data a final check. There’s only 5 working days a week, even less for bureaucrats, and no President Trump to push them.
