Anthony Fauci, the top US infectious disease official, said on Sunday he would take the newly approved Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine, as he encouraged Americans to accept whatever version was available.

"All three of them are really quite good, and people should take the one that's most available to them. If you go to a place and you have J&J, and that's the one that's available now, I would take it," Fauci said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
