Here are the side effects of the new coronavirus vaccine that’s about to be available

[Andy Meek]

• A new vaccine is poised to join the growing mix of coronavirus vaccines authorized for emergency use in the US -- this time, from Johnson & Johnson.
• An FDA report has revealed some of the side effects that might be experienced after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
• To date, more than 68.3 million coronavirus vaccines have been administered in the US.

The US coronavirus vaccine rollout is about to get a bit of a jolt, with another new drug maker's vaccine added to the mix that can be administered to Americans as part of the ongoing fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of the time of this writing, US regulators were poised to authorize Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose COVID-19 vaccine, which they've determined to be safe and effective, for emergency use -- adding this vaccine to two others, from Pfizer and Moderna, that have likewise been approved for emergency use in the US. In testing, the J&J vaccine was found to be 66% effective in preventing moderate to severe cases of the virus overall, and 72% effective in the United States. This new one-dose vaccine is also far easier to transport and store than either of the previously authorized vaccines, both of which require two doses to be administered to recipients. And now, we're also learning what the side effects of this new vaccine from J&J include.
