The US Food and Drug Administration on Saturday approved the Johnson & Johnson single dose COVID-19 vaccine.
Greenlight brings the number of vaccines available to fight deadly coronaviruses to three.
The approval came a day after an expert advisory panel signed the new vaccine.
A large study found a dose 85 percent protective against the most severe COVID-19 disease.
Vaccine shipments can begin as early as Monday.
