US extends expiration dates for Johnson & Johnson Covid vaccine by 6 weeks

Johnson & Johnson said Thursday that U.S. regulators extended the expiration date on millions of doses of its COVID-19 vaccine by six weeks. The company said a Food and Drug Administration review concluded the shots remain safe and effective for at least 4 1/2 months. In February, the FDA originally authorised J&J's vaccine for up to three months when stored at normal refrigeration levels. Thursday's announcement comes after state officials warned that many doses in storage would expire before the end of the month.

The FDA has been reviewing expiration dates on all three U.S. authorised vaccines as companies have continued to test batches in the months since the shots first rolled out. The vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, authorized in December, have a ...

EU agency links J&J vaccine shot to rare clots, says odds favour use

The European Union's drug regulatory agency said Tuesday that it found a possible link between Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine and extremely rare blood clots and that a warning should be added to the label. But experts at the agency reiterated that the vaccine's benefits outweigh the risks. The European Medicines Agency made those determinations after a very small number of blood clot cases in people who had gotten the vaccine were reported in the United States. The agency said a warning about the blood clots should be added to labels for the Johnson & Johnson's vaccine and that these rare blood disorders should be considered very rare side effects of the vaccine. The EMA also recommended a label change for the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine after finding a link between it and rare blood clots. In both cases, the agency said the benefits of being immunized against COVID-19 still outweighed the very small risks of recipients developing the unusual clots. Last week, Johnson ..
