Brian Reed, director of transformation at IU Health East Central Region, said that while it’s not yet known how the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be distributed throughout the state, having another vaccine helps improve access.
“Since the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a one-shot vaccine, this vaccine will be particularly helpful in mass vaccination sites, temporary or ‘pop-up’ sites, retail spaces, doctor offices and other healthcare settings where it may be difficult for patients to come for two shots,” Reed said. “This flexibility will help healthcare providers be able to reach more patients in the community.”
Bryan Ayars, CEO of Open Door Health Services, said the single dose vaccine will likely be more favorable among the community.
