DHEC provides list of independent S.C. pharmacies set to receive J&J vaccine By Kristin Nelson | March 4, 2021 at 12:53 PM EST - Updated March 5 at 11:58 AM
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WMBF) – Over 100 independent pharmacies in South Carolina will soon receive the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control announced on Wednesday how it was going to distribute the new vaccine across the state.
South Carolina will receive 41,000 doses of the vaccine next week. It’s not clear right now if that’s how much the state will get every week.
FORGING AHEAD |
State Epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell said DHEC is activating independent pharmacies that will receive the J&J vaccine because they are more likely to serve rural counties. The J&J vaccine also doesn’t have strict storage and handling requirements like Pfizer and Moderna, so it will be easier for smaller pharmacies to handle the vaccine.
As the area started to thaw Friday, the city of Temple joined the nearly 12 million Texans who have had disruptions to their water.
