TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â There s now a bump in the road when it comes to getting millions vaccinated. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control has paused the use of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
The FDA s recommendation to stop using the vaccine follows six cases of what are being called rare blood clots connected to what Johnson and Johnson says is a rare disorder. All cases included women between ages 18 and 48, with the issue starting six to 13 days after vaccination. At this time both Florida and Georgia are also pausing use statewide.
