SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, Calif. The projected supply of Johnson & Johnson vaccines is on a sharp decline for the next couple of weeks in California, but to health officials, the news is no reason to sound the alarm, at least for right now.
Current projections have the supply of Johnson and Johnson vaccines in a bit of a freefall. The state s allocation dropped sharply from a little less than 575,000 on the week of April 4 to a projected 67,600 vaccines on the week of April 11. The projection continues the trend into the week of April 18 with a projected 22,400 vaccines.
