(AP) Johnson & Johnson is beginning a huge final study to try to prove if a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine can protect against the virus. The study starting Wednesday will be one of the world’s largest coronavirus vaccine studies so far, testing the shot in 60,000 volunteers in the U.S., South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colom- bia, Mexico and Peru. A handful of other vaccines in the U.S. — including shots made by Moderna Inc. and Pfizer Inc. — and others in other countries are already in final-stage testing. Hopes are high that answers about at least one candidate being tested in the U.S. could come by year’s end, maybe sooner. U.S. health officials insist the race for a vaccine isn’t cutting corners. “We want to do everything we Zack Demars, The World Carol Ventgen, left, and Melanie Bloom, members of the League of Women Voters of Coos County, help community members register to vote Tuesday. can without sacrificing safety or efficacy — we’re not going to do that — to make sure that we end up with vaccines that are going to save lives,” Dr. Francis Collins, Tuesday is voter registration day director of the National Institutes of Health, told reporters.
