Los Angeles Takes over Operation of Mass Vaccination Site - GovTech

The vaccination site opened in February as an eight-week pilot project by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

Newsom's vaccine was a single-dose Johnson & Johnson shot, so the governor won't have to make a second appointment.

The mix-up will delay future shipments of Johnson & Johnson doses in the United States while the Food and Drug Administration investigates what occurred.

The error does not affect any Johnson & Johnson doses that are currently being delivered and used nationwide, including the shipments that states are counting on next week.

Further shipments of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine — expected to total 24 million doses in the next month — were supposed to come from the giant plant in Baltimore.
