United States. – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decided to scrap two batches of Johnson & Johnson vaccines manufactured at the troubled Emergent Biosolutions plant in Baltimore, many more were ordered to be thrown away, for not meeting the conditions to be used.
The FDA made that announcement on Friday in a statement in which it does not give figures, although US media do provide them: according to The New York Times, there are 60 million doses that must be discarded, compared to 10 million that are saved and that are authorized for use.
Johnson & Johnson, in a statement, confirmed the news about regulators to use two batches of the vaccine produced at that plant, but also did not want to give figures on doses or make any reference to those that are going to be destroyed.
