J.&J. Pauses Production of Its Covid Vaccine Despite Persistent Need

6. Looks like a couple hoops to jump through

since Janssen (J&J) has started an agreement to contract out making that vaccine in South Africa to a company local there (assuming the approvals happen) - https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/safricas-aspen-signs-non-binding-agreement-with-jj-covid-vaccine-license-2021-11-30/

The U.S. wasn't making it here either - originally getting our doses of this from Belgium (Janssen's plant) and Merck had agreed to step up and help to make it here but haven't heard any updates on that effort for use here although Europe recently approved the manufacture of it here in PA at that plant (am guessing for export).
