France has approved the use of a coronavirus vaccine made by Johnson & Johnson. The vaccine was approved by the European Union authorities a day ago. News Reuters.
France’s health regulator HAS said in a statement on Friday that the Johnson vaccine could be vaccinated under the age of 18 under the French immunization program. People over the age of 65, older and sicker people can also get the vaccine.
The vaccine is effective and tolerable for patients, HAS said. The French health regulator approved four vaccines to prevent corona. Earlier, HAS approved Pfizer-Bioentech, Modernna and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines. These vaccines are to be given in two doses, but Johnson’s vaccine is for one dose.
The European Medicines Agency approved Johnson & Johnson’s tick last Thursday. The first shipment of the vaccine will be delivered to the European Union within the next one month.
