A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel will meet Friday to issue recommendations on whether to resume use of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID vaccine. The U.S. temporarily halted use of the one-shot vaccine after at least six people reported an extremely rare blood clot disorder. On Friday, J&J scientists said there was “insufficient” evidence of a link between the clots and the vaccine. Dr. Anthony Fauci said over the weekend he expects the U.S. will resume its use.

Dr. Anthony Fauci: “My estimate is that we will continue to use it in some form. I doubt very seriously if they just cancel it. I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

South Africa’s health regulator has recommended resuming Johnson & Johnson vaccinations after also halting its rollout.
