No shipments of Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine have gone out from the federal government in several weeks, CNN has learned, because the one-shot vaccine is in short supply.
The government has not sent any doses of the J&J vaccine to states since the first week of May, an official told CNN. That figure is in line with data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccine shipments. The lag comes, however, as the pace of vaccination has slowed in recent weeks and nearly half of the eligible US population — people 12 and older — is already fully vaccinated.
