Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine distribution paused
According to a joint statement from the CDC and FDA, six people out of 6.8 million who have received the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine have developed a type of rare blood clot. All six cases occurred in women ages 18-48 and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination. 
 
According to the joint statement, “People who have received the J&J vaccine who develop severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain, or shortness of breath within three weeks after vaccination should contact their health care provider.”
 
As a result of the ongoing review of these complications, the federal government is pausing the distribution of the J&J vaccine.
