The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is available in Bristol Bay once again, after a two week pause.
The Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation announced Friday that it has started to offer J&J shots again after the CDC and the FDA lifted a pause on the single-dose vaccine on April 23.
The CDC paused use of the J&J vaccine in mid-April, after six cases of abnormal blood clotting were detected in patients who received shots. The blood clots occurred mainly in women between ages 18-49. Those instances were extremely rare the CDC said that only seven cases were reported per million women in that age group who received the vaccine.
