-- The state’s Department of Public Health said thousands of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines are set to expire.
Officials from the state's Dept. of Public Health said Connecticut has roughly 80,000 J&J doses, and 95 percent of them are set to expire between now and June 24.
This comes as vaccine demand has dropped off.
“We have not ordered new J&J through our state allocation since the J&J pause in early April, which has allowed us to gradually and responsibly work through our inventory as best as we can. In light of the expiring doses, we are employing a first-in, first-out strategy, filling all J&J orders through transfers from other state providers to avoid wastage. Unfortunately, the reality is that we are only using roughly 3,000 doses of J&J a week, so the majority of our doses will not be used before their current expiration date,” the department said in a statement.
This week, Johnson & Johnson said it is looking at whether or not expiration dates on its COVID-19 vaccines can be extended.

200,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses in Ohio set to expire in 2 weeks ... Time is ticking on the usability of 200,000 Johnson & Johnson vaccines in Ohio
When lefties don’t like the measurement they just change the length of the ruler.
“Expired” will turn into “well aged” and “healthy” and “good for you”.
Lying to the peons is so easy a chimp could do it.
Good! Throw them out!
Choice 5) Don’t give a crap about COVID, and even less of a crap about anyone’s grandma. Don’t tread on me grandma....I’d rather see you dead.
Nope. Rest easy citizen. I just heard on the local news that the vaccines should be OK if they are stored at 30 soemthing to 40 something degrees F.
The expiration date has been conveniently extended. Go right ahead and take the vaccine if you want to. So far, the choice is still yours.
Of course you probably won’t be protected against the new D strain and your belly button may come undone and your butt fall off but the vaccine should be safe for another few months if stored properly.
