The allocation of Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses from the U.S. government is expected to fall by 85% next week, reported the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The decline in supply comes after the company had to discard 15 million doses of its coronavirus vaccine last month because the batch did not meet quality standards.
Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccine dose distribution will remain steady, with 4.7 million first doses of Pfizer and 3.5 million first doses of Moderna allocated to states.

Pfizer and its German collaborator BioNTech on Friday asked for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to allow their COVID-19 vaccine to be used on adolescents ages 12-15. Their vaccine is already authorized for those 16 and up.
The companies also plan to ask for similar authorization from regulatory agencies in other parts of the world. In trial results released recently, the companies showed that their vaccine prevented all COVID-19 symptomatic disease in trial participants ages 12-15, generated large numbers of protective antibodies in that age group, and did not pose any safety concerns.

NEW YORK CITY A popular site that helped untold New Yorkers score hard-to-get COVID-19 vaccine shots could be gone forever.
TurboVax went down Friday morning after the city s cyber defenses effectively blocked it, the site s founder tweeted.
The site used a bot to automatically give real-time updates on when and where coronavirus vaccine appointments were available. But as of Friday, the city threw up new bot defenses that cut if off.
