Beaumont restarts administration of Johnson & Johnson vaccine
Based on a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, Beaumont will be resuming the administration of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine to inpatients at acute care campuses later this week. The Beaumont Vaccine Medication Review Committee reviewed and endorsed the recommendation and data from the CDC.
Screening criteria is followed to ensure eligibility for vaccine administration and patients can decline the vaccine if they choose. Visit the Janssen website for more information about this vaccine.
