WASHINGTON, Dec 20 (Reuters) - A third vaccine to stave off
COVID-19 could get U.S. approval as early as next month, a top
U.S. health official said on Sunday as the second vaccine began
shipping out nationwide..
Admiral Brett Giroir, an assistant secretary at the
Department of Health and Human Services, told ABC News that data
was yet to be released on the novel coronavirus vaccine from
Johnson & Johnson and Janssen, but that if approved it would
give the United States its third vaccine following ones from
Pfizer Inc and Moderna Inc.
