J&J COVID vaccinations paused by Oklahoma State Health Department

Oklahoman The Oklahoma State Department of Health has asked all vaccine sites across the state to immediately pause giving Johnson & Johnson vaccinations after two federal agencies recommended doing so, citing extremely rare cases of blood clotting in people who had received the one-shot vaccine. In a joint statement early Tuesday morning from leaders of the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the agencies recommended a pause “out of an abundance of caution.” They pointed to six U.S. cases of a severe type of blood clot in people who had received the vaccine less than one in a million of the more than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine that had been distributed in the U.S. as of Monday. 

OU students mount efforts to promote COVID-19 safety, mitigation, express disappointment in university handling

After mounting frustration with OU’s response to the pandemic, such as allowing quarantined students to leave their rooms for food while still under quarantine, some students took it upon themselves to promote mitigation efforts through food delivery and social media.  Biology junior Logan Pesina said she co-founded a group chat on GroupMe dedicated to providing information on all things COVID-19. She said the chat — which currently has nearly 700 participants — was created to “spread awareness” about COVID-19-related matters like masking rules on campus, where to receive COVID-19 testing and vaccines, and the difference between provided vaccines.  Pesina said although the chat’s primary role is to promote safe COVID-19 practices, there are “strict rules” in the chat regarding bullying students for violating COVID-19 procedures.
