Montana counties pausing use of J&J vaccine
By AMY BETH HANSONApril 13, 2021 GMT
HELENA, Mont. (AP) The federally recommended pause in administering the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccination led to the cancellation of clinics at two colleges in Billings on Tuesday while a clinic at the Missoula County Fairgrounds continued with the Moderna vaccine instead, officials said.
About 140 people had signed up for the clinics at Montana State University-Billings and Rocky Mountain College, said Pat Zellar with the Yellowstone County health department.
The single-shot vaccine was offered at the colleges because the semester ends later this month. It was intended to allow students to be fully vaccinated before going home for the summer, Zellar said. Students are still able to get the first dose of a two-dose vaccine at county clinics.

Cascade County health officials are winding down their mass COVID-19 vaccination events. The county is shifting to a more targeted vaccination strategy with hopes of getting more doses in the arms of young people in order to reach herd immunity.
Cascade County Health Officer Trisha Gardner says the county health department’s mass vaccination site will remain open through the end of the month for those who received their first shot there and need the final jab. It’s not that the vaccine is going away or availability is going away. It’s just changing where that’s going to be available.
