2. What are we doing with our current #JnJ doses?
1. Initially, we only used them for essential workers, e.g. teachers
2. But the doses expire on Aug 11, and we now know more JnJ stock is coming, so @healthza has moved some doses to sites for use in the general roll-out.

3. What will happen to essential worker programmes?
@healthza will complete the current programmes as soon as possible and then move onto to prioritisation based on age only (because essential worker programmes require time-consuming admin which causes delays)

How many of the #JnJ doses which expire on Aug 11 have we used?
1. We received 1.5 million
2. @healthza’s dashboard says we had used 699 604 by July 24, so we had 800 396 left by the end of today (the nr excludes paper entries that still need to be entered into the EVDS).
