Good morning, NBC News readers.
Nearly a year into the coronavirus pandemic, millions of Covid-19 survivors are still suffering from debilitating symptoms. We take a deep dive into the search for answers for these long-haulers.
Here's the latest on that and everything else we're watching this Monday morning.
 As the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. appears to be turning a corner, another health crisis is brewing: Covid-19 survivors struggling to bounce back to their former selves.
Of the more than 28 million Americans diagnosed with Covid-19, an estimated 10 to 30 percent — possibly as many as 8.4 million people — fall into the category commonly known as "long-haulers."
Despite the staggering numbers, there's no clear diagnosis, no standard care and no national guidelines for how these patients should be treated.
But there are some signs of hope.
NBC News surveyed dozens of "post-Covid" clinics where health experts are scrambling to figure out how best to help patients recover from an illness with no known cure.
At these special clinics across the country, a better understanding of the condition is emerging, according to the NBC News analysis.
In other promising pandemic news, the first shots of Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 vaccine could be administered as early as Tuesday, senior Biden administration officials said Sunday.
The Food and Drug Administration granted emergency use authorization to the single-dose vaccine on Saturday, adding a third vaccine to the U.S. arsenal to fight the pandemic.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said all three vaccines are "highly efficacious" on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday and encouraged people to take whatever vaccine is offered.
"All three of them are really quite good, and people should take the one that's most available to them," he said.
