New York City will use Johnson & Johnson's easy to store, single-dose coronavirus shot to vaccinate homebound seniors and others, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday. 'Let's talk about how we're going to reach home-bound seniors,' the mayor said during a media briefing. 'We're going to use that Johnson & Johnson vaccine to reach homebound, seniors, literally sending medical personnel, trained folks to individual apartments.' He intends for his county to start distributing the Johnson & Johnson shot to people at home as soon as it is authorized. Authorization for Johnson & Johnson's vaccine is more than a week away, at the very least, however.
