A pause in the distribution of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is no reason to not get a vaccine, Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Tuesday (April 13), adding that the state is in a race to avoid another surge in COVID cases like that ongoing in Michigan.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration on Tuesday called for a halt to using the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine because six people reported a serious blood clot issue a few weeks after receiving the vaccine. More than 6.85 million of the J&J vaccines have been administered. None of the six cases were in Arkansas.

State lawmakers should pass a newly filed hate crimes bill and Arkansas employers need to fully embrace vaccines for their workers. That’s the blunt assessment from Randy Zook, CEO of the Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce and Associated Industries of Arkansas.
Zook, who appeared on this week’s TV edition of Talk Business & Politics, said despite reluctance of legislative leadership to label SB 622 as a hate crimes measure, that’s what the bill effectively is.
“If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. That would be my answer to that. Yes, it is [a hate crimes bill], and yes it does. It’s an Arkansas solution to a tough challenge and it’s appropriate,” Zook said.

For reasons inadequately explained, Governor Hutchinson will NOT put the power of the state behind mass distribution of COVID-19 vaccine. But some are stepping into the void with big-volume events of their own.
