Former FDA chief Scott Gottlieb: J&J Covid vaccine will likely get approved

CNBC Television published this video item, entitled “Former FDA chief Scott Gottlieb: J&J Covid vaccine will likely get approved” – below is their description.

A key Food and Drug Administration advisory panel will review and vote on Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot Covid-19 vaccine on Friday, potentially paving the way for an emergency use authorization in the coming days. Dr. Scott Gottlieb, member of the boards of Pfizer and biotech company Illumina and former FDA commissioner, joined “Squawk Box” on Friday to discuss.

A key Food and Drug Administration advisory panel is scheduled to vote Friday on whether to recommend approval of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use, which would help pave the way to distribute a third preventive treatment in the U.S.

A favorable vote from the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee will likely clear the path for the U.S. agency to approve J&J’s vaccine for emergency use. The committee plays a central role in approving vaccines in the U.S., verifying the shots are safe for public use. While the FDA doesn’t have to follow the committee’s recommendation, it often does.

During similar requests by Pfizer and Moderna, the FDA authorized those companies’ vaccinations a day after the committee of outside medical advisors backed emergency use authorization. If J&J’s follows the pattern, a third vaccine could be authorized on Saturday.

Public health officials say the U.S. will need an array of drugs and vaccines to bring an end to the pandemic, which has infected more than 28.3 million Americans and killed at least 505,899 as of Thursday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Unlike Pfizer’s and Moderna’s vaccines, which require two doses given three to four weeks apart, J&J’s requires only one dose, easing logistics for health-care providers. J&J’s vaccine can also be stored at refrigerator temperatures for months, unlike the two other vaccines.

In This Story: Vote

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.

In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
