SEVIERVILLE Sevier County residents will not be able to get Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine for COVID-19 for an undetermined amount of time after the federal government recommended a “pause” in distribution of the vaccine.
The Tennessee Department of Health announced Tuesday that it would follow federal recommendations to hold off on administering the vaccine while federal officials review reports of rare but dangerous blood clots in a handful of patients who have received the vaccine.
State officials said they expect to be able to continue providing vaccinations in Tennessee on schedule, although patients will need to take the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, both of which require two doses to be fully effective.
