Clip: 3/1/2021 | 3m 51sVideo has Closed Captions
Roughly 70,000 doses of Johnson & Johnson's vaccine are expected in New Jersey this week.
Johnson & Johnson’s one-shot vaccine is 72% effective against moderate and severe disease in U.S. clinical trials, but 100% effective at preventing hospitalization and death. But Dr Shereef Elnahal says there’s pushback in minority neighborhoods over what’s perceived as J&J’s second-class vaccine getting relegated to Black and brown folks.
