The single dose makes it a popular vaccine to distribute to the homeless, prisoners, and refugee populations.

The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine or Janssen COVID-19 vaccine is a COVID-19 vaccine that was developed by Janssen Vaccines in Leiden, Netherlands,[1] and its Belgian parent company Janssen Pharmaceuticals,[2] subsidiary of American company Johnson & Johnson.[3][4]

It is a viral vector vaccine based on a human adenovirus that has been modified to contain the gene for making the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. The vaccine requires only one dose and does not need to be stored frozen.[5]

The vaccine has been granted an emergency use authorization by the US Food and Drug Administration[6] and a conditional marketing authorization by the European Medicines Agency (EMA)[7]

Since it is a single dose vaccine, it has been a popular vaccine to distribute to the homeless,[8][9][10][11] prisoners,[12][13] and refugee populations.[14]
