FDA Orders J&J To Throw Out 60 Million COVID Vaccines

Federal regulators have instructed Johnson & Johnson to discard roughly 60 million single-shot COVID-19 vaccines due to possible contamination following a manufacturing mishap at the Baltimore-based Emergent BioSolutions, an error that shut down the plant two months ago.

The Food and Drug Administration told the company to throw out the shots, and it has not yet decided whether the plant can reopen, according to the New York Times.

Federal regulators closed the plant two months ago amid reports that factory workers mistakenly contaminated 15 million J&J shots with the key ingredient for the AstraZeneca vaccine, which was also in production at that plant, even though it has not yet passed regulatory muster in the United States.

The mix-up caused federal officials to strip the plant of its responsibility to produce the AstraZeneca vaccine and handed over production authority to J&J. (Read more from “FDA Orders J&J To Throw Out 60 Million COVID Vaccines” HERE)
