As states hit a delay in their federal supply of the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, Gov. Ned Lamont’s administration on Thursday said college students could go home half vaccinated.
“Our plan had been to give college students Johnson & Johnson before they leave knowing that we didn’t really have enough time to get them a second dose of (Pfizer or Moderna) before they head home,” said Chief Operating Officer Josh Geballe, outlining the broad strokes of the plan during the governor’s press conference that afternoon.
