Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine cleared for use in U.S.

The U.S. is getting a third vaccine to prevent COVID-19, as the Food and Drug Administration on Saturday cleared a Johnson & Johnson shot that works with just one dose instead of two. A total of 902,242 Minnesotans, or 16.2% of the population, have now received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccines, according to the state Health Department. The weekly pace of shots administered continues to climb, with 242,676 doses given last week, a 28% increase from the previous week.
