Gov. Kim Reynolds receives her dose of the COVID-19 Johnson & Johnson vaccine along with husband, Kevin, on March 3.
State health officials have advised all COVID-19 vaccine administrators to temporarily stop the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine effective Tuesday morning.
The move comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration issued a joint statement Tuesday, calling for an immediate 'pause' in the use of the one-dose vaccine after six individuals experienced severe and rare blood clots, resulting in one death and another in critical condition.
