Philadelphia-Area Clinics Temporarily Close, Pivot After FDA, CDC Recommend Pausing Use Of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 Vaccine
CBS Philadelphia 1 hr ago Syndicated Local – CBS Philly
Vaccination sites across the city had to quickly pivot from the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine to Moderna or Pfizer vaccines this morning. And as a result, some locations that only offered the J&J vaccine had to temporarily shut down.
The FEMA Esperanza clinic in Hunting Park, a site where the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is usually distributed, is now closed after the CDC and FDA recommended a delay on distribution.
In North Philly, the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium immediately pulled the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as well. But their site at Deliverance Evangelistic Church was in full swing. Luckily for folks in line waiting for the “one and done” the Moderna shot is a viable alternative.
