J&J Shot Warning on Rare Disorder; U.S. Cases Soar: Virus Update
13 July 2021, 05:48 GMT+8
U.S. regulators added a warning to Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine after a rare immune-system disorder was reported in about 100 of the more than 12 million people who received the inoculation. The Food and Drug administration said the data was insufficient to be able to say definitively the shot had caused the Guillain-Barré syndrome.
The development came after the U.S. recorded its biggest weekly increase in Covid infections since April 2020. Cases soared 47% for the week ending Sunday, as the delta variant spreads while vaccination rates fall.
Elsewhere, the United Nations reported that world hunger spiked last year, outpacing population growth and probably reaching the highest since 2005, as the pandemic curbed incomes and access to food. In Europe, both France and Greece are planning to mandate shots for at least some of their citizens, while U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to warn people to stay vigilant as he prepares to lift virtually all remaining curbs in England. Science advisers are concerned.

J&J Shot Gets Warning About Rare Disorder (5:37 a.m. HK)The fact sheet for Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine was revised to warn of the risk of a rare immune-system disorder, adding new headwinds for a shot once expected to be a linchpin of the U.S. immunization effort.
The Food and Drug Administration said in a statement Monday that it was adding the warning after 100 reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare condition in which the immune system attacks the nerves, among people who had received the shot. So far, about 12.8 million Americans have been given the one-dose vaccine.
The agency said that 95 of the cases required hospitalization and that one person had died. While the available evidence suggests a link between the shot and the syndrome, the agency said that the data was insufficient to be able to say definitively it had caused the illness.
The revised fact sheet said symptoms began with 42 days of receiving the J&J shot.
