One year after the WHO has declared COVID-19 a pandemic, the EU's drugs regulator has approved the use of the Johnson & Johnson single-shot Covid-19 vaccine.
The US-American drug is the fourth to get the go-ahead from the European Medicines Agency. The EMA said the vaccine is 67% effective two weeks after innoculation. It's already being widely used in the United States and it's hoped this will help speed up the EU's slow vaccine rollout, which has drawn heavy criticism.
This news comes as several announce that they have stopped using some batches of the AstraZeneca Covid 19 vaccine -- after reports of blood clots in some people. Denmark has suspended use of the vaccine until the matter is cleared up.
