Potential 'game-changer': Hopes high for Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine if authorized

Keeping my fingers crossed on this one...

Potential 'game-changer': Hopes high for Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine if authorized

NorthJersey.com

A COVID vaccine being developed by New Jersey-based Johnson & Johnson could dramatically speed up the fight against the pandemic because, unlike the two vaccines already in use, this one would require only one dose and would not need to be stored at super-cold temperatures.

And at least one, the AstroZeneca, does not need to be at super cold temperatures.

I think this will be important going forward as we truly see the effectiveness of each. There is usually more than one way to get from here to there, so maybe they will all be equally effective.

Although, if the J&J one requires only one dose, everyone is going to want that one.
