COLUMBIA- With the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine being pulled from use in the United States, some in Mid-Missouri could be feeling the effects.Â
The Columbia - Boone County Health Department said they were hoping to use the Johnson & Johnson in order to vaccinate certain populations in the county. We think it would be beneficial for vaccinating like our homeless population or those in the jail, but you know we may have to wait on that or use other vaccines, said Ashton Day, Health Educator for the Boone County Health Department.Â
An MU Health Care doctor says that having the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can help with making things easier.Â
