Veterans choosing to be vaccinated will receive the Janssen (Johnson and Johnson) one dose vaccine. In clinical trials, the Janssen vaccine showed an efficacy of 66% against moderate to severe/critical COVID-19 disease occurring at least 28 days after vaccination – and demonstrated greater than 85% efficacy in preventing severe/critical COVID-19 disease occurring at least 28 days after vaccination.
Veterans who are enrolled and receiving health care in VA are eligible to get the vaccine. VA Black Hills is offering the vaccine to all risk categories.
