(CNN) The US just added another powerful tool against Covid-19 to its inventory: a third vaccine.
This latest piece of good news comes at a time US health leaders say is critical in the country’s battle against the virus, as dropping cases begin to plateau and concerns grow over highly transmissible variants.
“Starting tonight, 3.9 million doses of J&J will be distributed across all channels, states, tribes, territories and pharmacies and community health centers,” one senior administration official said in a Sunday night briefing call. “Those J&J doses will be delivered as early as this Tuesday morning.”
