PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) The Oregon Health Authority has asked the state’s vaccine providers to immediately stop administering the single shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
The move follows guidance of the federal government regarding the appearance of blood clots in six women, from ages 18 to 48, across the country.
Johnson & Johnson shots have been a small part of the vaccination campaign in the Pacific Northwest. So far, 81,255 Oregonians have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, out of almost 1.5 million who are fully or partially vaccinated, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.
In Morrow County, emergency managers canceled the last day of an eight-day mobile vaccination clinic for agricultural workers and other harder-to-reach community members, organized with support from FEMA, that had been administering the Johnson & Johnson shot.

Of the settlement, $3 million will go to two Oregon non-profit organizations that support women and girls.
“Boston Scientific ignored evidence showing that surgical mesh could cause bladder problems and pain. Women who received this product were supposed to gain their freedom back, but instead many faced even more medical issues,” Rosenblum said. “On a brighter note,” she added, “I am really pleased a large portion of this settlement will be invested in programs like the Boys and Girls Clubs and Planned Parenthood that support girls and women and offer such
