Onondaga County will resume administering the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine at its vaccine clinics, county officials announced Saturday.
The county temporarily stopped administering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration issued guidance recommending a pause. Around 15 people developed rare blood clots shortly after receiving the vaccine. The CDC and FDA announced on Friday that it would lift the recommended pause.
County Executive Ryan McMahon and Indu Gupta, the county’s health commissioner, announced the county’s plans to resume administering the vaccine. Gupta said that benefits of the vaccine outweigh any potential risks.

Some students have already received their vaccine from the Barnes Center at The Arch or from places off-campus, like the New York State Fairgrounds Exposition Center.

Since New York expanded vaccine eligibility, Syracuse University students have been able to get the COVID-19 vaccine both on and off campus.
New York state opened eligibility to residents 16 or older on Tuesday. SU began administering 1,600 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine last week and will continue to obtain more doses from the state.
Cooper Dawson, a sophomore international relations major, got his vaccine through the Barnes Center at The Arch on Thursday. Dawson filled out a form indicating he wanted to be contacted when SU received vaccine doses and was contacted shortly after to set up an appointment, he said.
