WHO authorizes Johnson & Johnson vaccine for emergency use

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday granted an emergency use listing for the coronavirus vaccine made by Johnson & Johnson, The Associated Press reports.

The approval means the one-dose shot can now theoretically be used as part of the international COVAX effort to distribute vaccines globally, including to poor countries without any supplies.
