A couple of bits of vaccine news from around the world. South Korea’s food and drug safety ministry has granted final approval for the use of Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine as the country pushes ahead with its vaccination campaign, report Reuters.
A panel of South Korean advisers last week recommended that the single-dose shot was safe and effective – the country has already approved the AstraZeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines for use.
