Johnson and Johnson said Monday they had temporarily suspended testing of their Covid-19 vaccine because one of its participants had fallen ill. “We have temporarily discontinued further doses in clinical trials of all of our Covid-19 vaccine candidates due to an unknown disease in one study participant,” the company said in a statement. The pause means that the enrollment system has been shut down for clinical trials of 60,000 patients while the Independent Patient Safety Committee has been called. Two weeks ago, the company launched a final trial of 60,000 individuals with the single-shot Covid-19 vaccine, which is likely to make it easier to distribute millions of doses than major competitors using two doses.
