The United States stands ready to deliver up to 4 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine as soon as next week if the Food and Drug Administration authorizes the shot for emergency use, the Biden administration’s Covid-19 response team said Wednesday.
“The governors are carefully planning their efforts and are getting ready for the possible new vaccine,” Jeff Zients, President Joe Biden’s Covid czar, said at a news briefing. “If authorized, we’re ready to roll out this vaccine without delay.”
