New Coronavirus Vaccine Seen As Boon To Rural Areas

(Austin, TX) — This week’s arrival of the one-dose coronavirus vaccine from Johnson & Johnson is seen as a breakthrough for states with large rural areas, like Texas.

Returning to a vaccination site for a second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine is a major hurdle for some people.

Dr. Diana Fite, who heads the Texas Medical Association, says J&J’s one-shot option will also help with immunizing the homeless, who can sometimes be hard to find for the follow up second dose.
