Recipients Required to Wait 48 Hours Prior to Performing Duties
The FAA has followed through on a COVID-19 vaccination approval, now allowing the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine for pilots, controllers, and similar roles. The news honors an Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FAA has determined that the vaccine is allowable under the conditions of their FAA-issued airman medical certification. FAA and contract air traffic controllers, who are subject to FAA medical clearance, may also receive the vaccine.
