CLEVELAND — In just a few short weeks, anyone wishing to get vaccinated for COVID-19 can head to the Wolstein Center for a onetime poke with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine instead of having to go back for a second dose.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which is the only single-dose shot available, will be available starting on April 27. Appointments for the shot will run until May 10, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
On Thursday, Gov. DeWine presented a time-lapse video showing how efficiently mass vaccinations at the Wolstein Center are distributed:
The Wolstein Center is now in the second phase of its Pfizer vaccine distribution—meaning health officials are administering second doses to individuals who have received a first.
The Pfizer second-phase distribution runs from April 6-26.
As of April 5, more than 100,000 people have been vaccinated at the Wolstein Center.
On Friday, the team at the vaccination clinic at @CLE_State's @wolsteincenter administered its 100,000th dose of vaccine. We're grateful to @OHNationalGuard, @FEMA, & all partners at the site. Second doses for those vaccinated here over the last 3 weeks will start tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/RgdkUPTMFS
