Mass Vaccinations Scheduled For Friday With Johnson & Johnson

Beginning this Friday in the Commonwealth of Virginia mass vaccination events are scheduled using the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, despite concerns about the vaccines efficacy compared to the other vaccines on the market. State Vaccine Coordinator Danny Avula says the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is effective. Avula says the events scheduled for this Friday across the Commonwealth will involve mass vaccinations of between one thousand and five thousand people. The goal is to reduce the number of hospitalizations, disabilities and deaths related to COVID-19.
