Vaccination Requirements for the USMA Summer Leadership Experience

[Steve27]

I have recently been accepted into the USMA SLE program, and the first day is June 4th. That being said, I essentially have not enough time for a full 2 step vaccination (Moderna of Pfizer). That being said, will they accept the Johnson&Johnson Vaccine as being fully vaccinated? I will call and email them directly, but please respond as soon as possible. Edit: I checked the form, and it seems that it is indeed accepted. Feel free to let me know for sure anyway.

Yes, they will accept the single shot from J&J.

Have they approved J&J for under 18 yet?

No

I think you would have time to get fully vaccinated. Should you get the first dose within a few days, you would be able to get the second dose three weeks after (around the 13th of May) and two weeks after that when you’re considered fully vaccinated is the 27th of May. I was able to schedule a vaccination appointment at a CVS the same day I was scheduling it.

The Johnson and Johnson vaccine is an approved vaccine, despite the issues raised about it. As for the MRNA vaccines, you have more than enough time to get fully vaccinated between now and the start of SLE if you get the first vaccine soon. It should not be that difficult to schedule an appointment now either since vaccine rates have slowed significantly.
