Suspension of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is expected to have minimal impact in Guernsey and Noble counties according to local health officials.
Neither health department has received the Johnson & Johnson one-dose vaccine since initial shipments of 300 and 200 doses, respectively, several weeks ago. While we received 300 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine during the early release, we don t expect to receive any more doses at this time, said Rose Ball, administrator at the Cambridge-Guernsey County Health Department. I don t believe there will be any impact in Noble County, added Noble County Health Commissioner Shawn Ray. The initial shipment of 200 doses is all the state has given us.

The Ohio Department of Health reported no new COVID-19 related hospitalizations or deaths in Guernsey or Noble counties when it released coronavirus statistics Tuesday.
Hospitalizations in Guernsey County remained at 220 and the death toll stood at 35, according to data provided to state officials by the Cambridge-Guernsey County Health Department.
In Noble County, hospitalizations were unchanged at 86 with 41 deaths reported by Noble County officials since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Fortunately, the number of positive cases and hospitalizations have been greatly reduced, and the vaccinations are helping, said Noble County Health Commissioner Shawn Ray. The people who are receiving vaccinations are extremely grateful, but we still have to keep our guard up. We need to continue wearing masks and maintaining social distancing to prevent a new spike in COVID cases.
