Federal health officials recommended an immediate pause Tuesday on the use of Johnson & Johnson s coronavirus vaccine out of an abundance of caution following reports of six cases of rare and serious blood clots in women in the United States.
The blood clots, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration announced in a series of tweets, are severe and extremely rare. In these cases, a type of blood clot called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) was seen in combination with low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia), the FDA said in a statement. All six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination. Treatment of this specific type of blood clot is different from the treatment that might typically be administered. Usually, an anticoagulant drug called heparin is used to treat blood clots. In this setting, administration of heparin may be dangerous, and alternative treatments need to be given.

Gov. Ralph Northam today (Thursday) announced that all individuals in Virginia age 16 and older will be eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine starting on Sunday, April 18.
That is about two weeks ahead of President Joe Biden’s nationwide goal of expanding eligibility to the general public by May 1.
The news comes as nearly every Virginian in the highest risk groups who have pre-registered for a vaccine appointment has received one, and those still waiting will receive appointment invitations in the next two weeks, according to the Commonwealth.
More than 3.7 million doses of vaccine have been administered in Virginia, the state said, adding that about one in three adults have received at least one dose and one in five are fully vaccinated.
