Johnson & Johnson vaccine shipping out of Louisville's UPS Worldport to the country - WDRB
The UPS Worldport in Louisville is playing a vital role in the distribution of the newly approved COVID-19 vaccine.
Just days after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was approved for emergency use, the first shipments are being sent to cities across the country from a warehouse in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. The first truck full of the vaccine rolled into the UPS facility Monday to be unloaded, sorted, loaded onto planes and flown out for delivery.
On Friday, the FDA approved the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for emergency use in the U.S. It's a one-shot vaccine as opposed to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which are both two shots, given weeks apart.
UPS played an integral part in getting the previous vaccines sent around the country after those were approved. Spokeswoman Michelle Polk said they're excited to be a part of it for the third time.
