Some local providers administered all doses of the COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by Janssen / Johnson & Johnson prior to an order Tuesday to suspend its use, but at least one major provider didn’t use any. The state Department of Health allocated a combined 6,400 doses of the J&J vaccine to seven providers in Luzerne County last week — four to eight days before U.S. health officials recommended pausing use of the vaccine to give the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration time to investigate six cases of J&J recipients developing unusual blood clots.
