Two additional vaccines for Covid-19 may be authorized for use in the US in the coming months as the country tries to deal with record hospitalizations and deaths.

The Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine that the United Kingdom approved for use on Wednesday may be authorized for emergency use in the US in April, according to Moncef Slaoui, chief scientific adviser for Operation Warp Speed.

That vaccine is in Phase 3 trials in the US, Slaoui said, and the vaccine is being manufactured ahead of the potential authorization.

In addition, Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine may be authorized for emergency use in February and could be a "game changer" for the US, Slaoui said. Phase 3 trial recruitment for this vaccine has been completed.

1. Surely to be a badge of honor in Republican circles to get all 5 vaccines

Grabbing all the bandwidth will choke out poor people, won't it?

2. snark on: Oh goody, more vaccines to sit in warehouses. snark off

And besides that, Slaoui sounds like something I'd scrape off my shoe.

3. April? That seems incredibly slow for approval, for the Oxford vaccine at least.

Trump has truly screwed this up if we are looking at April for wide spread vaccinations to be starting.
