People shouldn’t get the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine when the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna shots are available, an advisory panel to the CDC said.
In the U.S., the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are readily available. More than 570 million doses of Pfizer and Moderna have been delivered to providers, whereas only 28 million doses of Johnson & Johnson have been delivered.
A total of 54 cases of TTS following Johnson & Johnson vaccination were identified through late August, Dr. Isaac See, a scientist in the CDC’s emerging infectious diseases unit, said Thursday during a presentation to the committee. All the patients were hospitalized, including 36 who were admitted to the intensive care unit.
