The U.S. is reducing the number of Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccines delivered to states next week. 

CDC data shows about 785,000 doses will be allocated, compared to nearly 5 million this week. 

The New York Times reported last week that a production facility in Baltimore ruined 15 million J&J vaccines after mixing up the wrong ingredients. 

J&J has said it expects to deliver 100 million of its shots to the government by the end of May.
