FDA limits J&J COVID-19 vaccine due to rare blood clot risk

Lev Radin/Pacific Press/LightRocket via Getty Images(WASHINGTON) The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday announced it's now limiting the authorized use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after conducting an updated investigation into reports of rare blood clots. Though the risk of blood clots is still extremely rare, officials said use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine should be limited because there are other, safer options including vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna that do not carry the same risk. Use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will now be limited to people ages 18 and older for whom other authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccines are not "accessible or clinically appropriate," and to adults who choose to receive the vaccine or else they would not get vaccinated, the FDA wrote in a press release.

Morsa Images/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) As soon as Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration could authorize COVID-19 booster shots for Americans over 50 years old, two officials familiar with the matter told ABC News, though the fourth shots are likely to be only offered and not formally recommended. The officials stressed that the details are still under discussion and could change in the next few days. After FDA's expected authorization early this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will give guidance on how to implement it in pharmacies and doctors offices around the country, as the process has gone throughout the pandemic. The language from CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is expected to be that people over 50 may get a second booster shot, rather than should get a second booster shot, officials said.
