Durham Region Health Department has a limited supply of Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) Covid-19 vaccine. Janssen is a one-dose vaccine that is now available for individuals who have not received any Covid-19 vaccine to date.
The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) indicated that the Janssen Covid-19 vaccine is 85.4 per cent effective at least 28 days after vaccination.
With 89.4 per cent of Durham Region residents ages 12 and older having received at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine, Janssen Covid-19 vaccine will support eligible residents to get vaccinated and achieve Durham’s target of 90 per cent vaccination coverage, said a Durham Health statement.
Individuals must meet the following criteria to be eligible to receive a Janssen Covid-19 vaccine in a Health Department community immunization clinic:
- 18 years of age and older, and
- Have not received any Covid-19 vaccine dose to date.
Residents who want Janssen vaccine can call the Health Department at 1-888-444-5113 to book an appointment. Due to limited supply, online booking is not available for the Janssen vaccine.
Additional information regarding the Janssen vaccine is available via the Ministry of Health’s Janssen Covid-19 Vaccine Information Sheet.
