– CDC panel on Thursday recommended Pfizer and Moderna over J&J shots
– J&J jab has rare but serious side effects and appears to be less effective
– Until now, all three shots have been treated equally by US authorities
– CDC Director Rochelle Walensky must decide whether to accept panel’s advice
Most Americans should be given the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines instead of the Johnson & Johnson shot that can cause rare but serious blood clots, U.S. health advisers recommended Thursday.
The strange clotting problem has caused nine confirmed deaths after J&J vaccinations – while the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines don’t come with that risk and also appear to be more effective, advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
It’s an unusual move and the CDC’s director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, must decide whether to accept the panel’s advice.
