State health officials are advising COVID-19 vaccine providers not to expect any deliveries next week of the newly approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine that only requires a single dose.
The advisory comes as Connecticut is receiving its first shipment of the new vaccine, including 7,400 doses each to Yale New Haven Health system and Hartford HealthCare, and 1,000 doses to Trinity Health Network.
The governor’s office reported Monday that as many as 39,000 doses of the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine were to be delivered this week.
The state Department of Public Health informed vaccine providers in a weekly bulletin issued Tuesday not to count on receiving any J&J vaccine next week. The DPH has been informed that there will be either no allocations or very limited allocations for the next two weeks.
