N.H. pauses use of Johnson & Johnson vaccine
Update: Tuesday, April 13, 10:17 a.m.
Gov. Chris Sununu announced New Hampshire would pause use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after the CDC and FDA issued a recommendation earlier today, following reports of six people in the U.S. developing a rare disorder involving blood clots within two weeks after vaccination.
The announcement comes after a third mass vaccination clinic this past weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, which used the J&J vaccine. Sununu was among those getting the vaccine which is a one-dose vaccine, as opposed to Moderna and Pfizer, which require two doses.
