The delay stems from production problems at a Baltimore plant two months ago. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Emergent BioSolutions, a manufacturer of Johnson & Johnson’s and AstraZeneca’s vaccines, mixed up ingredients between two different products. The cross-contamination issue ruined 15 million Johnson & Johnson doses. The FDA also said the plant needed to fix other problems, including unsanitary conditions and peeling paint.
