Till the last update, more than 435,000 US residents have been killed with the COVID-19, and the surge of infections does not stop yet. A Couple of vaccines were introduced at the end of last year but the spread of the infection did not stop.
A new vaccine was tested that is found safe and responsive against the Coronavirus. Johnson & Johnson’s one Shot vaccine found safe to use without any reaction and side effects. It is not authorized in the US as other vaccines already got authorization in the US. It shows very good results and effectiveness against the coronavirus which is a very severe disease.
On Friday Johnson & Johnson said that the data that has been collected in the trial in the United States and other seven different countries showed that the vaccine is 66 percent effective to prevent severe sickness by the coronavirus.
It is a one-shot vaccine, while the other two vaccines Moderna and Pfizer are two shot vaccines. This means you have to take two doses of these vaccines while the new vaccine is a single dose vaccine and you have to take only one dose of the vaccines. The other two vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer found 94 percent effective.
The gambling on one dose is certainly worthy said the chief researcher of johnson & Johnson Mr. Mathai Mammen. The new Johnson and johnson vaccine is a single-dose regimen. It can be explained as a game-changer in the struggle toward the fatal coronavirus. The major difference between this new vaccine and the old one is that you do not need to keep it in the freezer. So you can distribute it through a normal vaccine supply chain without making a new one and purchasing expensive equipment.
