The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has a supply of Johnson & Johnson vaccine at their disposal that is set to expire Friday, July 4, and DHSS staff are actively seeking to relocate the vaccine to hospitals currently enrolled in ShowMeVax. Hospitals can request quantities specific to their current operational needs, with no minimum order, by emailing Stacie Hollis.
There are several beneficial use-case strategies for the one-dose J&J vaccine, including use in the emergency department and inpatient units before discharge. Given the continued spread and emergence of variants within the state, vaccinating all eligible populations remains a priority.
