The District Health Department #10 (DHD#10) announced on Monday they will resume the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in all ten counties for anyone 18 years or older.
The agencies previously recommended a pause on April 13, while experts conducted a thorough safety review after reports of an extremely rare blood clotting syndrome in some people.
However, the FDA and CDC have confidence that the J&J vaccine is safe and effective in preventing COVID-19 and have determined that the available data show that the vaccine’s known and potential benefits outweigh its known and potential risks.
DHD#10 is hosting two offsite clinics this Wednesday, April 28, where the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be available for anyone 18 and older.
