The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the emergency use of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine by the pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson (J&J). In response, Anthony Pouch, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in the United States, said that if any vaccine is readily available, don’t choose it.

Pfizer-Bioentech and Modena vaccines are already being supplied, and the fact that the preventive effect of the J&J vaccine is lower than that of other vaccines seems to have taken steps to dispel safety concerns over the prospect that it could be avoided. .

According to the US media on the 28th (local time), Mr. Pouch appeared on the US ABC, NBC, and CNN broadcasts, saying that all three vaccines distributed in the US are “safe and effective”. “Now we have three very effective vaccines. done. Whatever it is, you have to get the vaccine you can get first.”

He warned not to wait for another vaccine or delay vaccination.

“The three vaccines are really pretty effective. I have finished getting the approved modder or vaccine,” he said. “If I had been to the vaccination site where the J&J vaccine was, I wouldn’t have hesitated at all.”

“If I had the option of getting the J&J vaccine or waiting for another vaccine while I haven’t been vaccinated yet, I would have chosen the one that would get the fastest vaccine,” he said. It’s for the simple reason that it’s important to do it.”

In particular, regarding the J&J vaccine, “This is good news. It only needs to be hit once.”
