J&J Vax Get the Jab from CDC
[ET] A panel of advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) unanimously voted on Thursday to recommend the agency tell the public that the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines are preferred to the jab from Johnson & Johnson (J&J).
Hours after the vote by the advisory panel, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky endorsed the recommendation.
A conclusion, one supposes, of the Phase 3 part of the study in which we are supposed to participate.
The panel voted after hearing presentations on a serious combination of blood clotting and low blood platelet levels that has been seen at higher than background rates in people who have gotten the J&J vaccine.
The link prompted a near-nationwide pause in administration of the vaccine in April but health agencies lifted the pause after determining the benefits of the shot outweighed its risks.
How's that April decision looking now, CDC?
