After Ohio and Washington reapproved the use of Johnson & Johnson s COVID-19 vaccine, providers are slowly beginning to offer it as an option again.
Despite the pause, people looking to get a COVID-19 vaccine from Columbus Public Health are already seeking out the Johnson & Johnson shot, said Dr. Mysheika Roberts, health commissioner. I m pleasantly surprised, Roberts said. What that tells me is: 1. That people like the one-dose option and 2. That people have really looked at the science and the benefits far outweigh the risks.
The J&J vaccine was paused April 13 after six initial cases of rare yet serious blood clots were discovered in recipients of the shot. It was allowed to resume Friday after the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control concluded it was safe and the clots were exceedingly uncommon.

Ohio COVID-19 vaccination details and distribution are always in flux
Moderna vaccine doses to Ohio were expected to increase this week from 73,000 to 105,600 while Pfizer, which now is providing about 73,200 doses a week to Ohio, expects to double that number by mid- to late-February, Gov. Mike DeWine has said.
The constant changes mean details related to the vaccine are always in flux, said Alexis Shaw, spokeswoman for Ohio State University s Wexner Medical Center. The last thing vaccine providers want to do is have to call a patient to canVaccnatcel or reschedule an appointment, she said. Because of the way the vaccine distribution is working, it s kind of a week-by-week situation, Shaw said.
