NEW ORLEANS — It's possible a third COVID-19 vaccine could be approved soon.
Johnson & Johnson released the findings from their trial Friday and are expected to request emergency approval by the FDA in about a week.
Requiring only one dose and regular refrigeration, Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine is being called a "gamechanger."
"The fact that we have another vaccine that looks very good, that is only a single dose, is going to help immunize a lot more people a lot faster," said Tulane Microbiologist, Lisa Morici, PhD.
