Statistically, someone has a better chance of dying in a car crash than getting a blood clot from the J&J vaccine.
“I would not say do not get vaccinated just because of this very rare side effect, said Dr. Carlos Del Rio, executive associate dean at the Emory University School of Medicine.

BARR Center (Building Assets, Reducing Risks) and the Addiction Alliance of Georgia, a unique collaboration between Emory Healthcare and the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, are excited to announce their partnership and welcome South Atlanta High School of Atlanta Public Schools as the first BARR school in Georgia.
BARR is a national organization that aims to bring education into the 21st century through intentionally deepened relationships and a data-driven, personalized and supportive approach. It uses an evidence-based universal prevention model that has been proven to reduce risky behaviors including decreasing the incidence of substance use (alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs), academic failure, truancy and disciplinary incidents among youth. By using real-time data and building relationships, staff are able to support healthy development and reduce the likelihood that risky behaviors will become the norm.
Johnson & Johnson vaccine: Rare blood clot symptoms explained CNN 3 hrs ago
If you experience a severe headache that does not go away, significant abdominal or leg pain that does not subside, or increasing shortness of breath, health officials want you to call your doctor immediately.
Those could be signs of an extremely rare, severe type of clot that may be linked to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine so rare that only six cases have been reported in the United States out of the approximately 7 million Johnson & Johnson doses administered to date.
However, if you received the J&J vaccine more than a month ago, the risk is very low, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, during a virtual briefing on Tuesday.
