Fauci says he expects a decision Friday on whether the U.S. can resume using Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine
18 April 2021 - A decision about whether to resume administering the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine should come this Friday, when an expert panel that is advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is scheduled to meet, according to Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert.
“I think by that time we’re going to have a decision,” Dr. Fauci said on Sunday on the CNN program “State of the Union.”
“I don’t want to get ahead of the C.D.C. and the FDA and the advisory committee,” he added, but said he expected experts to recommend “some sort of either warning or restriction” on the use of the vaccine.
