Georgia
Georgia will also start administering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine once again, as the Georgia Department of Public Health announced in a statement on April 23. As Tony Marshall, president, and CEO of the Georgia Health Care Association, shared in a recent interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, it’s a relief that we now have another available alternative for the
Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, in order for people to have more options.
Illinois
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s recommendations have also been implemented by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) as of April 23, so Johnson & Johnson will be administrated again in the state.
As the IDPH mentioned in the statement, the Jenssen vaccine can be found immediately at the providers that previously received doses of this vaccine. They also mentioned that more than 760,000 doses have been delivered to Illinois before the 12-day pause, and 290,000 of them have already been administered.
