Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine could be in Washington in a 'few weeks,' doctor says

A National Vaccine Advisory Committee member from Washington says the newly approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine could be available in Washington in a few weeks.

“Now the catch is we're not going to see very much right away," said Dr. John Dunn, medical director for preventive care at Kaiser Permanente Washington. "It's actually going to take a while before we see large amounts of vaccine available in the United States in general and in Washington state in particular.”

The Food and Drug Administration gave the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine emergency authorization Saturday, clearing the way for a third vaccine to join the fight against coronavirus.

Dunn said the arrival of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in addition to Pfizer's and Moderna's is our strongest option yet to beat the pandemic.
