[April 29, 2021]
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Memorial Health
System (MHS) has followed guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Accordingly, MHS has immediately suspended
Johnson & Johnson vaccinations at all locations.

 In Springfield, MHS is partnering to offer clinics
this evening at Third Presbyterian Church; Wednesday at MERCY
Communities Inc.; and Thursday at the Boys and Girls Clubs of
Central Illinois. We will administer Pfizer vaccine at these
locations, rather than the Johnson & Johnson that had originally
been scheduled.
MHS’ South Sixth Street vaccination clinic administers Pfizer and
Moderna, and is unaffected.
We are canceling Johnson & Johnson clinics that had been scheduled
for Wednesday, April 14, at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital and
for Friday, April 16, at Taylorville Memorial Hospital.

Vaccination clinics scheduled for Wednesday, April 14
and Thursday, April 15 at Passavant Area Hospital will administer
Moderna, and will continue as scheduled.
Safety is a core value of Memorial Health System. We will continue
to monitor the CDC and Illinois Department of Public Health
guidance, and continue to work to provide other vaccination options
for the communities we serve.
