Great news on the J&J vaccine!
New preliminary lab data from Dan Barouch and team from @bethisraellahey showed the vaccine is likely to stand up against the Delta variant and a strong immune system response eight months later.
Nice summary by @sonysalz

Meeting people where they are is critical to improving vaccine access and education.
Thrilled to see @McDonalds featuring vaccines.gov | @vaccinefinder on 50M coffee cups! I'm lovin' it.
As private sector companies join us in the fight against this virus, @McDonalds has announced that beginning in July, around 50 million of their cups will be designed to direct people to visit vaccines.gov for vaccine information when they grab coffee or order a meal.

Our new @OutbreaksNearMe & @SurveyMonkey poll shows overall #COVID19 vaccine confidence is holding steady post pause.
J&J confidence drops 28% but increases for mRNA vaccines.
Highlights the critical importance of targeted education when pause is lifted.
