FDA pulls emergency authorization of J&J’s Covid-19 shot after final batch expired last month

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has pulled its emergency authorization for the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine after the pharmaceutical giant’s Janssen unit made the request for removal.

Bloomberg reported that Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a company owned by Johnson & Johnson, told the FDA that previously acquired jabs have reached their expiration date and that US demand for the product is no more.
