This move comes after a panel of the advisers have voted for recommending for directing the people of the United States towards the mRNA covid-19 vaccines for the protection against the novel corona virus, which means that, the vaccine shots by Moderna and Pfizer and BioNTech in the United States.

The advisory committee of the US CDC on the immunization has voted unanimously for the purpose of making the recommendation, and the cases of the thrombosis with the TTS (thrombocytopenia syndrome), that is involving the blood clots that are accompanied by the low level platelets, that have previously been recorded in the recipients of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, which has been the highest rates of recorded in the women under 50 years of age.
