North Carolina has another tested, safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine to protect against virus-related hospitalization and death.
The federal government authorized the distribution of Johnson & Johnson’s (Janssen) one-shot vaccine and 83,700 doses are expected to arrive in the state this week, beginning on Wednesday.
“A third COVID-19 vaccine means North Carolina can get more people vaccinated sooner, which will save lives and slow the spread,” North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Mandy K. Cohen, M.D., said.
Mecklenburg County said they are expected to receive 10,000 doses of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
"Having a 3rd safe and effective vaccine will help vaccinate people more quickly & help provide equitable access to COVID-19 vaccinations," the county tweeted. #WakeUpCLT #COVID19 #Vaccine
