Vaccination sites across the city had to quickly pivot from the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine to Moderna or Pfizer vaccines this morning. And as a result, some locations that only offered the J&J vaccine had to temporarily shut down.
The FEMA Esperanza clinic in Hunting Park, a site where the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is usually distributed, is now closed after the CDC and FDA recommended a delay on distribution.
In North Philly, the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium immediately pulled the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as well. But their site at Deliverance Evangelistic Church was in full swing. Luckily for folks in line waiting for the “one and done” the Moderna shot is a viable alternative.

The problem caused the state to “cancel a number of appointments that were erroneously double-booked,” he said.
“We will work with those canceled on rescheduling their appointments at the nearest available time,” he said. “We regret the confusion this technical issue caused, and we are working with our vendor - and as you can imagine the conversations are spirited - to address the root cause and that this does not happen again.”
David Adinaro, the health department deputy commissioner, said they believed the booking issue was specific to the Gloucester site.
