ST. LOUIS — A mix-up at a plant making the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has ruined nearly 15 million shots. This is causing problems for those most vulnerable in the St. Charles area.
In St. Charles County, the vaccination efforts are going well according to health director Demetrius Cianci-Chapman. They vaccinated more than 12,000 people last week, most of which received the Pfizer or Moderna shot. The director said a delay in Johnson & Johnson's Janssen shots creates a big problem for those in senior living communities or those who are homebound.
