OSWEGO COUNTY â The Oswego County Health Department cancelled a COVID-19 vaccination clinic that was scheduled at SUNY Oswego today âout of an abundance of cautionâ following the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration on the use of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The federal agencies recommended a pause in the use of the Janssen/Johnson and Johnson vaccine while they study a possible link with a rare blood clot disorder among some vaccine recipients. The FDA said the blood clot disorder appears to be extremely rare.
âWe are following the lead of these federal health agencies and pausing use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine,â said Oswego County Senior Public Health Educator Diane Oldenburg. âWe notified the college early this morning that todayâs vaccination clinic â where the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was scheduled to be administered â is now cancelled.
