NC resumes administering J&J vaccine: Here’s what you need to know Tina Terry
U.S. health officials lifted the pause on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory board met Friday and recommended lifting the pause.
The decision comes 10 days after the agency along with the Federal Drug Administration recommended that the vaccine be paused to investigate its possible link to rare blood clots. According to the CDC, there have been fifteen cases of blood clots out of the 7.9 million doses administered, which is more than double the six cases initially reported.
