FDA says J&J s vaccine is safe and effective
For the analysis, FDA analyzed a 45,000-person, international clinical trial conducted by J&J. It found that, overall, the vaccine was 66.9% effective at preventing moderate to severe Covid-19 among patients who had been vaccinated at least two weeks previously. There were no Covid-19 hospitalizations or fatalities among patients who had been vaccinated at least 28 days previously.
The review sets the stage for a third coronavirus vaccine to be authorized as soon as this weekend, a point of hope in the middle of a pandemic that has killed more than a half-million people in the United States.
