Turnout Low as Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Returns in Florida
Turnout was so low for the Johnson & Johnson single-shot vaccine at a central Florida FEMA-run site Sunday that about 90% of the daily supply went unused following a 11-day pause, health officials said.
A similar story played out at Miami Dade College in South Florida, where 127 Johnson & Johnson doses were administered as of Sunday afternoon, compared to roughly 300 Pfizer vaccines.
Late Friday, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lifted the pause, which began after 15 women, out of nearly 8 million people who received the vaccine, developed blood clots.
