The good news is that the vaccine can be stored at a normal refrigeration temperature with no need to be frozen at extremely low temperatures. The other good news is that the J&J vaccine requires only one dose instead of two doses as required by the Pfizer (PFE) and Moderna (MRNA) vaccines.
While access to the J&J vaccine might be limited at first, the firm affirmed that it can bring in millions of doses in the second half of 2021.
Prohost Observations

We are waiting to have more approved vaccines from other firms which include, CureVac (CVAC), Novavax (NVAX) and Inovio (INO) as well as many other biotech and biopharma firms.
We will soon declare victory against COVID-19.
