Daily and Weekly Preliminary Vaccine Administration Updates
The charts below will be included in the Daily News Digest, Monday-Friday.
Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Available Across Hawai‘i
Initial public reaction to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in Hawai‘i has been very positive, highlighting its value in the fight against COVID-19. Its proven ability to reduce severe illness and hospitalization after just one shot makes it an attractive option for people across the state.
Those who are currently eligible under the state’s vaccination plan can choose the single-shot Johnson and Johnson regimen by completing a survey: https://hawaiicovid19.com/vaccination-registration/.
Demand for vaccines is still greater than supply. Therefore, only people age 70 and older and those in phase 1a and 1b of the vaccination plan are currently eligible. However, vaccinations will soon be available to everyone age 65 and older and those in phase 1c.
Hawai‘i has received just one shipment of Johnson & Johnson vaccines. The current supply is limited. However, we expect that additional shipments will be allocated to Hawai‘i in the coming weeks.
Hawai‘i is receiving a growing number of the vaccines manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna. Research shows all three products offer effective protection against COVID-19. While people now have more choice than ever, health professionals urge people to accept whatever product they can get. For more information on vaccine eligibility and availability by island:
