RICHMOND, Va. Virginia is one of several states that restarted use of the one-shot Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine Saturday after receiving the green light from federal health officials.
Arizona, New York, Virginia, Missouri, Michigan and Tennessee were among the other states ordering or recommending a resumption of the vaccine.
Those moves came swiftly after U.S. health officials said Friday evening they were lifting an 11-day pause on vaccinations using the J&J vaccine. During the pause, scientific advisers to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention decided the vaccineâs benefits outweigh a rare risk of blood clots.
