After a two-week pause, providers across the country — including the University of Tennessee at Knoxville — have resumed use of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine.
The single shot is an easier-to-use tool for fighting the pandemic in places like college campuses because patients are vaccinated in one shot.
Dr. Spencer Gregg, director of UT's Student Health Center, told Knox News he hoped to vaccinate "as many people as possible" by the end of the spring semester using Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccines. Exams end May 6.
However, the temporary stop has made a significant difference in patients' willingness to get the vaccine and how the university will dole out doses.
