NJ pausing J&J vaccine use following federal advisories (updated) April 13, 2021
11:01 am
New Jersey health officials and several local hospitals are pausing their roll-out of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, following an advisory sent out by the Biden administration April 13.
“Out of an abundance of caution … the New Jersey Department of Health this morning paused the administration of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine across all vaccination sites in the state,” New Jersey Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said in an April 13 statement.
“All New Jersey vaccination sites have been told to cancel or put on hold appointments for the J&J vaccine until further notice,” she continued. “For individuals scheduled to receive the J&J vaccine, the department will work with all vaccination sites to make arrangements for the administration of an alternative two-dose vaccine.”
