US vaccination sites are closing from California to Texas, Ohio to Mississippi as demand for Covid shots plummets across the country - despite less than 28% of the population being fully inoculated
At least seven vaccination sites across the U.S. are shutting down this month or next
As of Friday, just shy of 42 percent of Americans - and nearly 53 percent of adults 18 and older - have had at least one dose of vaccine and 35 percent of adults are fully vaccinated
After rising to more than three million a day for at least a week, the seven-day rolling average of daily vaccinations is now below that figure
Vaccinators in Kansas, Mississippi, Ohio and other states report that demand has dropped precipitously in their states - and some are requesting smaller shipments
About 20 percent of Americans are vaccine hesitant with high rates in the South and Midwest

Excerpt:
Feds end the ‘pause’ on the one-shot, state to follow suit.
Florida’s Division of Emergency Management announced Friday night its intention to resume distribution of the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine “as soon as possible.”
“J & J Update: The state is planning to resume the use of the one-dose J & J vaccine as soon as possible. The state is reviewing the guidance issued by (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and is still determining what day the state will resume the use of the J & J vaccine.”
Expect further information “this weekend,” a follow-up tweet asserted.
“The state is prepared to continue supporting all current vaccination efforts & remains committed to ensuring all Floridians who want a vaccine, can get one.”
U.S. health officials lifted an 11-day pause on COVID-19 vaccinations using Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose shot on Friday, after scientific advisers decided its benefits outweigh a rare risk of blood clot, as the Associated Press reported.
