An FDA advisory committee meeting to review the vaccine’s application is scheduled for Feb. 26, and approval could soon follow.

The vaccine is administered in only one dose, so 20 million doses could fully vaccinate 20 million people.

Johnson & Johnson also said it is still on track to produce 100 million doses by June 30, according to The Hill.
