OPINION: The new vaccine threat is fear itself

Wed, 2021-04-14 11:42 — mike kraft

The new vaccine threat is fear itself The Johnson & Johnson pause is the latest example of how we've struggled to keep COVID risks in perspective. Sam Baker Axios

Colleges that planned to vaccinate students have to deal with temporary J&J pause

Colleges that intended to vaccinate students with J&J navigate the temporary pause For colleges and universities, the one-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 shot has been the simplest solution for quickly and fully vaccinating students who will soon disperse around the country in early May, otherwise risking both infection and transmission as they go. Schools that had other vaccine options on hand said they would reschedule students to get Pfizer or Moderna shots -- but students would then have to figure out how to get their second shot in three to four weeks if they planned to be home for the summer by then.
