Government hits pause on J&J COVID-19 vaccine
April 13, 2021
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration are investigating reported claims of rare blood clots developing in people who have received Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine. The agencies are recommending a pause on distribution of the J&J one-dose vaccine out of an abundance of caution while they investigate if there is a direct connection between adverse reactions and one death to this particular shot. The pause may cause a slowdown in the pace of vaccinations in the U.S. and there is concern that it may add to the vaccine hesitancy that already exists among some Americans.
