Johnson and Johnson is formally asking the FDA to authorize a booster for its COVID-19 vaccine.

Johnson & Johnson announced new research that found a second dose of its COVID vaccine offers a major boost in protection.

Booster shots will likely be recommended for people who received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.

The White House announced Friday that Dr. Anthony Fauci, medical advisor to President Joe Biden, said he expects Americans who received the one-dose J&J vaccine against COVID-19 also will be recommended for a booster shot.

Advisors to the CDC met on Thursday to discuss the risk of a rare but serious side effect thought to be linked to the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine.

The Johnson and Johnson COVID vaccine may not be as effective as vaccines that use mRNA technology (Pfizer and Moderna), according to a new study.

Nine members of the New York Yankees, including players and staff, have tested positive for coronavirus.

White House aides said Biden’s first priority is ensuring that Americans are vaccinated before considering distributing doses elsewhere. AdRussia has sent millions of doses of its Sputnik V vaccine to countries around the world, even as it vaccinates its own population. Israel, which has vaccinated more than half of its population with Pfizer vaccines produced in Europe, has also attempted to use vaccine diplomacy to reward allies. Biden's purchasing strategy has come under criticism from nongovernmental organizations who have encouraged the White House to develop clear plans and thresholds for sharing vaccine with the world. So we’re not going to be ultimately safe until the world is safe,” acknowledged Biden.

The pandemic has ended so many lives and vaccines are in high demand, but the J&J vaccine is born out of research that the church has long spoken out against. AdMichigan COVID-19 vaccinations: How to find appointments, info on phasesWhile the Archdiocese of Detroit recognizes the need for more vaccines, the J&J vaccine emerged from research dating back to the 1970s that proves controversial for Catholics. “If no other vaccines are available, certainly take the J&J vaccine,” Smetanka said. The vaccines developed by Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca are more morally problematic, however. If one does not have a choice of vaccine and a delay in immunization may bring about serious consequences for one’s health and the health of others, it would be permissible to accept the Johnson & Johnson or AstraZeneca vaccine.

DETROIT – There has been some progress involving two of the experimental vaccines for COVID-19. The vaccines have reached a critical milestone, one by the numbers, and one in beginning testing in a new age group. Moderna, the first company to start a U.S. clinical trial of a COVID-19 vaccine, has reached its target of enrolling 30,000 participants.

Pfizer officials have said theres a chance that phase three data for their vaccine candidate might be available by the end of October, but thats a big leap.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - The Oklahoma judge who recently ordered pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson to pay $572 million for its role in the state's opioid crisis says he made a mathematical error when calculating the judgment. As part of the landmark verdict in August, Judge Thad Balkman set aside $107,683,000 to help combat neonatal abstinence syndrome, or NAS. On Tuesday, Balkman agreed with Johnson and Johnson regarding the error. The judge still needs to decide if the court will continue to monitor the opioid crisis for the next 20 years and potentially award more money to the state. Johnson & Johnson has already indicated they will appeal any decision.

For the first time ever a drug maker is being held responsible for one of the worst man-made epidemics in history. Johnson and Johnson has been ordered to pay the state of Oklahoma $572 million.
