Pharmaceutical company Janssen Pharmaceutica-Cilag NV, part of the Johnson & Johnson group, has started shipping its single-dose vaccine against coronavirus to EU countries, European Commission spokesman Stefan De Keersmaecker said on Monday.
On October 8th, the Brussels committee reached an agreement with American company Johnson & Johnson to purchase 200 million doses of the vaccine, with the option of purchasing an additional 200 million doses. The U.S. pledged to deliver about 55 million doses to EU countries by the end of June and another 120 million from July to September.
The European Commission granted a conditional marketing authorization in mid-March for the vaccine developed by the company against Covid-19. The Janssen vaccine would be the fourth one to be used in the European Union, apart from Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, and Oxford University’s AstraZeneca.
