In reply to the discussion: UPDATE: U.S. Calls for Pause on Johnson & Johnson Vaccine After Clotting Cases [View all]BumRushDaShow
(128,911 posts)34. Well I think the fiasco that recently happened at Emergent indicates
that the "logistical challenges" for J&J (at least domestically) are not somehow different from any other vaccine manufacturing. They are now already behind in the doses due to Emergent's lack of cGMP adherence, and that contract-manufacturer will probably be delayed in getting approval going forward until that is addressed.
I expect that once Merck gets their NC vaccine plants up and running via their agreement with Janssen to make this particular vaccine, they might have better outcomes.
