There seems to be a few problems with the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccination and the U.S. government has recommended to “pause” using the single-dose shot. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration announced that they were investigating unusual clots that occurred six to thirteen days after the vaccination. The FDA commissioner said she expected the pause to last a matter of days.
According to
The Associated Press, clots occurred in veins that drain blood from the brain and occurred together with low platelets, the fragments in blood that normally form clots. All six cases occurred in women between the ages of 18-48. One person died, and all of the cases remain under investigation.
