Some 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson's one-shot coronavirus vaccine have been ruined after employees at a Baltimore manufacturing plant accidentally swapped two ingredients, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
The gaff occurred two weeks ago and will delay tens of millions doses slated to ship next month while the FDA investigates.
J&J blamed the mix-up on human error and says that 11 million doses that shipped this week were not affected.
White House officials told the Times that the J&J fiasco will not prevent the U.S. from reaching President Biden's goal of having enough COVID-19 vaccine doses in the national stockpile to inoculate every American adult by the end of May.
