The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is safe, Forsyth Countyâs three primary health care providers said Friday, a day ahead of vaccination clinics that will use only the one-dose vaccine.
Novant Health Inc. is accepting walk-ins for the J&J vaccine until 4:30 p.m. Saturday in its mass-vaccination site at Hanes Mall. Novant is administering about 2,500 of the 8,500 J&J doses projected to be provided today.
A similar clinic providing the J&J vaccine in Wake County on Thursday was halted after 18 people who got the vaccine experienced side effects, including nausea, dizziness, fainting and one allergic reaction, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services said.
