Supplies of Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose coronavirus vaccine will be extremely limited until federal regulators approve production at a Baltimore manufacturing plant under scrutiny, the White House’s pandemic response coordinator said Friday.
With allocations of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine set to plunge by 86 percent next week, governors across the country warned that the loss of the supplies they were counting on would set back their vaccination drives, which have used the shot in more transient, isolated and rural areas where the one-dose vaccine has appealed to many Americans. The other two vaccines, made by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, continue to flow out to the states at high volume.
The distribution of Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot vaccine has been inconsistent since the company delivered its first batch at the beginning of March, sending 2.8 million doses across the country before dipping below 400,000 in the following weeks.
Last week, about 1.9 million doses were sent across the country, and this week, 4.9 million shots went out. Next week, that number will drop to 700,000.
At a White House briefing on Friday, Jeffrey D. Zients, who leads the Biden administration’s Covid-19 response, said that Johnson & Johnson ultimately expects to be able to deliver as many as eight million doses weekly, if a Baltimore plant making the bulk of doses for the United States is cleared by the Food and Drug Administration. The New York Times reported last week that a mistake at the factory had contaminated around 15 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, delaying the plant’s authorization.
But Mr. Zients said he could not speculate on when the F.D.A. would authorize production lines at the plant, allowing shipments to pick up.

Sheee*t—Dey dindu nuffin!
With all of the bad news coming out about the J&J vaccine, one good way to stop people from being vaccinated by the vaccine is to claim there is a scarcity.
Gaslighting is more of a pandemic than covid.
It really is amazing how Trump is 74 and looks to be in his late 50s/early 60. Meanwhile Biden is 78 and looks like he is his is in his late 80s on a good day.
Yeah, anyone can take my place in line for a vaccine. I will consider a vaccine when its maker assumes full liability for adverse effects or infection by COVID after immunization.
Will be extremely limited until federal regulators approve production.
White House Warns of Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Scarcity
Who cares if they die we just want to say we got it out there for them.

Scarcity? It’s had so many adverse reactions, it should be pulled from the marketplace. But Joker Joe will lie about that and everything else.
Screw all these stupid vaccines
