Johnson & Johnson officer says goal is to deliver 1 billion coronavirus vaccines next year | TheHill
A Johnson & Johnson executive said Sunday that the company’s goal is to deliver 1 billion doses of coronavirus vaccine next year.
Paul Stoffels, the company’s chief scientific officer, told ABC’s “This Week” that Johnson & Johnson is increasing its manufacturing and preparing for clinical trials in September. He hopes to have data and start developing the vaccines at the end of the year.
“We are upscaling manufacturing, and we start producing in the late year with the aim to deliver 1 billion vaccines next year,” he said.

Great news if their vaccine works as intended. But it takes up to a month after vaccination for antibodies to reach an effective level. And by my count, by next year we're looking at something around half a million new deaths.
