The CDC signed off Sunday on Johnson & Johnson’s (JNJ) one-shot Covid-19 vaccine for people 18 years and older as the federal government prepares to ship out millions of doses this week. The FDA gave J&J’s vaccine, which demonstrated 72% efficacy in the U.S., emergency use authorization Saturday. While the other two vaccines cleared in the U.S. are two-shot regimes from Pfizer (PFE) and Moderna (MRNA), each showed over 90% efficacy. White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday all three are “really quite good” and that Americans should take whatever vaccine they can get.

The House early Saturday approved a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill championed by President Joe Biden. It included $1,400 direct payments to individuals, a $400-per-week federal unemployment boost through late August, and billions of dollars to distribute coronavirus vaccines and to assist schools and local governments. The measure goes to the Senate, where a provision to raise the federal minimum wage will likely be stripped out. However, the rest of the package appeared to be in good shape as Democrats aim to use a process that doesn’t require Republican support. Yes, Republicans in the House and Senate do not want Americans to get this economic stimulus.
