Hagerstown Mass Vaccination Site To Honor Johnson & Johnson Vaccination Appointments, Switching To Pfizer

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (WJZ) -- If you have an appointment for a Johnson & Johnson vaccination at the Hagerstown mass vaccination site Tuesday, you can keep your appointment, however you'll receive the Pfizer vaccine instead.

After the CDC and FDA recommended pausing the Johnson & Johnson one-shot vaccine due to reports of clots, Maryland health officials directed all vaccination providers in the state to also pause administering the J&J vaccine until further notice.

The mass vaccination site at the Hagerstown Premium Outlets, at 900 Premium Outlets Blvd, will honor any Johnson & Johnson appointments Tuesday, but will give out Pfizer doses instead.

If you have any questions, call the vaccination support center at 1-855-MD-GOVAX (1-855-634-6829).
