OLYMPIA, Wash. â Gov. Jay Inslee said Saturday that inoculations with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can begin in Washington state following a review by scientific experts in a western states work group.
The Seattle Times reports that the Western States Scientific Safety Review work group â vaccine experts from Washington, California, Oregon and Nevada â met Friday to review data about the vaccineâs potential risks, after more than a dozen women nationwide developed rare blood clots.
âThe benefits of the J&J vaccine outweigh the risks associated with it,â Inslee said in a statement. The federal Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday called for the 11-day pause on the J&J vaccine to be lifted after federal regulators reviewed data on blood clots and assess risks associated with the vaccine.
