DETROIT – Detroit this week turned down 6,200 doses of the newly authorized Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine, favoring shots from Pfizer and Moderna, but said Friday it will accept J&J doses in the state’s next allocation.
Mayor Mike Duggan had said Thursday that residents should get the “best” vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer conflicting with guidance from top state and federal health officials who caution against comparing the three vaccines and note all provide strong protection against the worst outcomes.
Duggan had also said the allotment of 29,000 Pfizer and Moderna doses “covered everyone who wanted a vaccination this week. On Friday, he called J&J vaccines a key part of our expansion of vaccine centers.”
