J&J asks U.S. regulators to OK its one-shot COVID-19 vaccine

Johnson & Johnson asked U.S. regulators Thursday to clear the world鈥檚 first single-dose COVID-19 vaccine, an easier-to-use option that could boost scarce supplies.

J&J鈥檚 vaccine was safe and offered strong protection against moderate to severe COVID-19, according to from a massive international study.

It didn鈥檛 appear quite as strong as two-dose competitors made by Pfizer and Moderna -- a finding that may be more perception than reality, given differences in how each was tested.
