FDA Gives The Green Light To Johnson & Johnson 1 Dose Vaccine.

FDA approved a 1 dose vaccine that has proven to be 66% effective against the virus. (NPR.org)


The new Coronavirus vaccine needs to be distributed far and wide as quickly as possible. As the article points out, marginalized communities will great benefit from a 1 dose vaccine as opposed to the issue presented with a double dose vaccine. Communities of color were and are disproportionately devastated by Covid-19 and need to remain a top priority when deciding who is vaccinated and when. Sadly discrimination is rampant as evidenced by Florida Gov. Desantis being forced by a Federal Court to locate vaccination sites in impoverished neighborhoods. This has to end.
