YOUNGSTOWN — Thursday was the first day of the Youngstown Health District’s vaccination clinic at the Covelli Centre, administering the one-shot Johnson & Johnson Janssen vaccine.
Erin Bishop, Youngstown health commissioner, said there is no concern about the vaccines being administered at the Covelli Centre because they are not affected by a manufacturing error of Johnson & Johnson vaccines at a Baltimore facility.
The error could affect up to 15 million doses of the vaccine, but it does not affect any Johnson & Johnson doses that are being delivered and used nationwide, the New York Times reported.
Doses being produced and shipped so far in the U.S. came from a plant in the Netherlands, the Times reported.
