The Biden administration anticipates shipping out 3 to 4 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot COVID-19 vaccine next week — if the Food and Drug Administration green-lights it for emergency use, officials said Wednesday.

“If authorized we are ready to roll out this vaccine without delay,” White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeff Zients said during a virtual press briefing.

Zients explained that on Tuesday he updated the nation’s governors on the administration’s plans to distribute Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine if the FDA grants emergency use authorization.

More good news.
 
My god, we might actually get most Americans vaccinated by this summer!

You're going to be lucky if 2/3 of the population eventually gets vaccinated. The anti-vaxxers will be in high gear. And some people just cannot be reached for a number of reasons, like age & other illness.
 
Hmm, lemme see here.

Just the other day, Fauci said it's not workable to vaccinate every teacher to reopen schools.

There are about 3.5 million public school teachers in the US.

There are 4 million doses of the J&J vaccine almost certainly about to become available in a few days.

Do. The. Math.

Fine by me in the short run. Gets me to the front of the line quicker.
 
4 million... in a week? Why so low? Hasn't this vaccine been able to be produced for months?

We paid them a billion dollars to produce this vaccine in advance, and they apparently pocketed it so they could hedge their bets. Pretty disgusting.

Good night is this a mess. Hopefully it's safe and effective and production ramps up quickly.
