Here's what Your Local Epidemiologist has to say, in part:
5. “Will this seriously impact the US vaccine campaign and delay our return to normal?”
Yes, it will seriously impact the US vaccine campaign. I think, though, in terms of hesitancy (like we’ve seen in Europe) rather than in terms of availability. So, yes it will delay our return to normal. If the CDC and FDA decide (after scientists review the evidence) that JJ cannot be distributed (which I highly doubt will be the case- from what it sounds like the benefits still outweigh risk), then this will also delay availability of vaccines. We will know more tomorrow.
