GREAT FALLS â Native American tribes in north-central Montana are responding to today's CDC and FDA recommendations that the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine temporarily stop being used. The reason for the "pause" is because it has been linked to blood clots in at least six people out of the more than 6.8 million who have received that version of the vaccine.
On Tuesday morning, the Little Shell Tribe was consulting with Alluvion Health, which has been helping the tribe administer vaccines.
