Lamar County to pause Johnson & Johnson vaccine; 500 Moderna doses on the way

The state is shipping no Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccines to the Red River Valley a week after the one-dose vaccine dominated the allocations and amid a federal ‘pause’ to investigate reports of potentially dangerous blood clots. In a joint statement Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration said it was investigating clots in six women in the days after vaccination, in combination with reduced platelet counts. More than 6.8 million doses of the J&J vaccine have been administered in the U.S. U.S. federal distribution channels, including mass vaccination sites, will pause the use of the J&J shot, and states and other providers are expected to follow.

Johnson & Johnson vaccine headed to region

More than 2.5 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines are being shipped to Texas vaccine providers this week, and that means more doses for the Red River Valley. Nearly 3,000 doses of vaccine are on the way to Lamar, Red River and Fannin counties in the 17th week of the state’s vaccine rollout, according to Texas Department of State Health Services records, and the majority of them are manufactured by Johnson & Johnson. Previously, most local providers received Moderna’s two-shot vaccine while a few received Pfizer-BioNTech’s two-dose vaccine. Only the vaccines made by Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech and Johnson & Johnson have received U.S. Food and Drug Administration emergency authorization.
