SOUTHERN COLORADO â The Pikes Peak region is getting another boost in helping slow the spread of COVID-19. That s because vaccine providers are getting ready to administer the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine once again.
This comes after the CDC announced Friday, that use of the one-shot vaccine should be resumed following a short pause due to adverse reactions.
Jeanette Burns, the owner of JB Pharmacy in Pueblo, told News5 that she hopes to place an order of 300 Johnson & Johnson vaccines on Friday, with hopes they ll get to the pharmacy on Monday. She also mentioned a couple weeks ago, she tried to place an order of the vaccine, but she wasn t able to do so. Shortly after, there was the discovery of a rare blood clotting issue, leading to the 10-day pause of administering the shot.
