MARSHALL —Â The Centers for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration are calling for a pause in using COVID-19 vaccines made by Johnson & Johnson, after six women developed blood clots.
On a local level, the recommendations mean some people will need to reschedule their COVID vaccine appointments. But vaccine providers in Marshall said they still have the capacity to give vaccines made by other manufacturers like Pfizer and Moderna.
Sandy Murphy, pharmacist at GuidePoint Pharmacy in Marshall, said GuidePoint is in the process of rescheduling COVID-19 vaccination clinics that were going to use the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
