BOULDER, Colo. â Days after the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) said thousands vaccinated at a Colorado Springs clinic should get revaccinated, some of those impacted are concerned for potential implications of receiving additional doses. I just hate being in that position where youâre waiting for someone to acknowledge whatâs going on and to give you the answers that youâre looking for, said Chris Nyce, a Boulder resident who received his first dose of the Moderna vaccine in March at the Dr. Moma Health and Wellness clinic in Colorado Springs.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Colorado Joint Vaccine Task Force recently paused the use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.Â
The interruption was due to reports of blood clots and low platelets in six Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients in the United States. The exact cause of the condition and whether it is related to the vaccine is unknown.
Almost 7 million people have received the one-dose vaccine in the United States so far.
Chaffee County Public Health Director Andrea Carlstrom said, âCCPH and all county COVID-19 providers will follow the stateâs requirement that we pause vaccination plans for distributing J&J until further notice.Â
