Johnson & Johnson updates U.S. COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet.

Following the update to the Fact Sheet, the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is now authorized in the U.S. for use in individuals 18 years of age and older for whom other FDA-authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccines are not accessible or clinically appropriate, as well as for individuals 18 years of age and older who elect to receive the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine because they would otherwise not receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

This is consistent with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in December 2021 that express a clinical preference for individuals to receive an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
