Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday predicted that a warning will be applied to the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after health officials recommended pausing usage last week—rather than it being canceled altogether.

“I doubt very seriously if they just cancel it. I don’t think that’s going to happen. I do think that there will likely be some sort of warning or restriction or risk assessment,” Fauci, who is the head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told “Meet the Press.”
