During an April 13 press conference, Governor Jared Polis confirmed that the state will follow the feds lead and put Johnson & Johnson usage on hold until officials give their okay to start doling out shots again a process that may take just a day or two, though there s no guarantee of that. In the meantime, he added, the state will do its best to provide extra Pfizer and Moderna doses to vaccination sites so that Coloradans with Johnson & Johnson appointments won t have to reschedule over the next couple of days, at least. However, he conceded that some appointments likely won t happen on time, and those who d prefer what he called the one and done Johnson & Johnson formula will need to wait to get it.
