Covid-19 roundup: US ex­pects 'nice in­crease' in J&J vac­cine sup­ply — re­port; Cure­Vac amends tri­al pro­to­cols for vari­ant ef­fi­ca­cy

De­spite a slow-paced launch of John­son & John­son’s vac­cine in the US, the phar­ma should come close to its 20 mil­lion-dose tar­get by the end of the month, White House Covid-19 ad­vis­er Andy Slavitt told re­porters on Mon­day, per Reuters

Since land­ing a EUA late last month, the com­pa­ny has shipped about 4.25 mil­lion dos­es in to­tal, and on­ly 2.3 mil­lion have been ad­min­is­tered in the US, Reuters re­port­ed. But Slavitt said the com­pa­ny isn’t too far be­hind on its promise, adding that the coun­try should see a “nice in­crease” this week.
