PORTLAND, Ore. Oregon and Washington have given the go-ahead for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to be administered again after more than a week of review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Experts investigated 15 cases of blood clots out of nearly 7,000,000 vaccinations administered across the country. However, according to vaccinefinder.org, most pharmacies are still not offering the J&J vaccine.
Fred Meyer, QFC, and Rite Aid locations offer it in Portland and Vancouver. CVS and Walgreens told NBC News that it will make appointments for the J&J vaccine in the upcoming week.

Fraught scene over discarded food at Portland Fred Meyer highlights hunger, challenges of distribution in storm
Safeway, Albertsons and Whole Foods didn’t respond to requests for comment from The Oregonian/OregonLive.
The fraught situation at the Hollywood Fred Meyer brought home that people are going hungry in Oregon.
At Portland Public Schools, nutrition services staffers normally provide grab-and-go meals for neighborhood children on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. But those distributions were canceled Friday due to snow and Monday for President’s Day, leaving families that count on those meals short. Beaumont Middle School, one of the district’s meal sites, is about two miles northeast of the Hollywood Fred Meyer.

Workers at the Hollywood West Fred Meyer had a safety deadline of four hours to act to salvage thousands of perishable items after the store lost power during the snowstorm Tuesday morning.
But icy conditions in Portland prevented food pantries from getting trucks to the store to pick up the load in time, Fred Meyer spokesperson Jeffery Temple said Wednesday. Two food pantries confirmed that they wouldn’t have been able to pick up the food.
