The Friday Five – A Look at the J&J Vax

Mar 19, 2021 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | HIT Feed, News |

A few weeks ago, at the end of February,the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. Immediately, plans to distribute the vaccine were rolled out and within days Americans were rolling up their sleeves to receive their shots. This week’s Friday Five takes a closer look at the newest COVID vaccine, how it compares to previously approved COVID vaccines, side effects and plans for future production.

Comparing the differences between COVID-19 vaccines

According to the Mayo Clinic (@mayoclinic) here’s what you need to know about the different COVID-19 vaccines.

How effective is the Johnson & Johnson vaccine? Here’s what to know

NBC News reports that Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose shot, made in partnership with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, differs from the two others in several ways. It’s made differently, and, at first glance, it might appear to be less effective. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is inferior. Here’s why:

WHO adds Janssen vaccine to list of safe and effective emergency tools against COVID-19

The World Health Organization (WHO) listed the COVID-19 vaccine Ad26.COV2.S, developed by Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), for emergency use in all countries and for COVAX roll-out. The decision comes on the back of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) authorization, which was announced yesterday.

Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effects: What to Know

According to Healthline (@healthline) as with the two mRNA vaccines approved in December, the J&J vaccine has mostly mild side effects that can be managed with rest or an over-the-counter pain reliever.

Merck to Help Produce Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 Vaccine

Merck recently (@Merck) announced a partnership with Johnson & Johnson to expand manufacturing capacity and supply of its COVID-19 vaccine. Under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) agreement, the company is adapting and making available some of their existing manufacturing sites to accelerate manufacturing efforts for the vaccine and enable more timely delivery and administration. Here are four reasons Merck is excited about the Johnson & Johnson partnership.

#JNJ is honored to collaborate with @Merck and the Biden Administration to ramp up production and manufacturing of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine.

Vaccine is authorized for emergency use and not approved or licensed by the U.S. FDA. Read more: https://t.co/Xnh5QXScdQ pic.twitter.com/EhjBDXawWw
