Reinstating Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine could help with hesitancy

Reinstating Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine could help with hesitancy One health district director says it could help get more shots in arms Tags:  DANVILLE, Va – Local health leaders say restarting the Johnson and Johnson vaccine again could help with vaccine hesitancy. On Friday, U.S. health officials lifted an 11-day pause on COVID-19 vaccinations using Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose shot, after scientific advisers decided its benefits outweigh a rare risk of blood clot. Health districts like Pittsylvania Danville and Southside have had issues with transportation and broadband issues when it comes to distributing the vaccine. Its health district director says the pause on the J&J could be causing people to be more hesitant about getting vaccinated.

Johnson & Johnson vaccine distribution paused by CDC

Just after the region began dispensing Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 (J&J) vaccine at clinics, the CDC and the FDA recommended a pause in the use of the vaccine due to a small number of reports of blood clots. On April 13, the departments called for a pause on the vaccine’s use after a small number of “rare and severe” blood clots were reported in people, all women between the ages of 18 and 48, after receiving the J&J vaccine. These symptoms occurred six to 13 days after vaccination. As of April 13, nearly seven million doses had been administered nation-wide. As of April 13, the CDC reported that of the 189 million doses administered of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, “no reports matching those associated with the [J&J] vaccine have been received.”
