The Department of Corrections continues to make the COVID-19 vaccine available (either the two dose Moderna or single dose Johnson & Johnson) to all incarcerated individuals and staff, free of charge. Incarcerated individuals and staff who have declined receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, and who wish to change their minds about receiving the vaccine, can contact their local health services to schedule an appointment. The department continues to provide education opportunities to incarcerated individuals and staff, some of which can be found on the department’s Significant Events Timeline by typing ctrl+f and searching for “vaccine.” For more information on COVID-19 vaccines, please visit our COVID-19 vaccine frequently asked questions.

The issue was discovered in the course of quality assurance checks. The Department of Corrections contacted Moderna that day to determine the effectiveness of the vaccine. Moderna responded on Wednesday, May 5, 2021, to confirm the vaccine dose is still effective and provides the protection needed against COVID-19. Individuals who received the vaccine were notified in one on one meetings with health services staff. Also, the health services team is reviewing protocols, discussing training and has provided additional direction to vaccination teams to ensure this occurrence is not repeated.
