Johnson & Johnson confident in 1B dose goal for COVID vaccine next year, looking ahead to 2022

While some drugmakers have been set back by the challenge of manufacturing enough doses to keep up with demand, New Jersey's Johnson & Johnson thought ahead. Leaning on its years of experience, the drugmaker is well on its way to producing 1 billion doses of its COVID-19 vaccine in 2021 and is looking ahead to 2022, said Paul Lefebvre, VP of strategic initiatives and COVID-19 vaccine supply chain at J&J's Janssen unit, in an interview.
