The coronavirus vaccines were used as a life-saver and it had been thought that the protective measures would provide immediate relief in the widespread struggles.

This can be helped, however, by the single-image coronavirus vaccine recently approved by Johnson & Johnson.
Jeff Zients, coordinator of the White House coronavirus response team, said delivery of the single-vaccine vaccine would begin “as early as tomorrow”.
The pharmaceutical company has a plan in place to distribute nearly 3.9 million doses of the vaccine in the coming days. This will add to the existing stockpile of Pfizer-BioNtech and Moderna vaccines in the US.
However, he added that “J&J has indicated that supply will be limited for the next week or two”.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine agreement is thought to be a major help in ramping up the vaccination process in the country that has lost more than 500,000 people to this deadly virus, as this vaccine only requires a single dose, such as compared to the other two that are two-dose vaccines.
