WH: J&J jab less than 5% of shots given so far in US
White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients reaffirmed his previous statement the temporary pause in the use of Johnson and Johnson’s (J&J) vaccine against COVID1-19 as it allegedly caused six cases of blood clots would have “no significant effect” on the United States’ vaccination program.
Zients noted the public should not worry about potential risks of the jab “less than 5% of 190 million recorded shots to date” had been those made by J&J. He repeated President Joe Biden had secured enough doses of Pfizer Inc.–BionTech SE and Moderna Inc.’s vaccines for those that were allocated J&J’s treatment.
Zients added that the authorities would administer “28 million doses of these two vaccines this week” and that the US was “well on pace to meet the president’s goal of 200 million shots by his 100th day in office.”
