South Africa temporarily halts J&J vaccine rollout plan
Minister of Health Zweli Mkhize has called for calm as South Africa temporarily suspends its Covid-19 vaccine rollout plan for a second time. The announcement follows the advice of a temporary suspension on the J&J/Janssen Covid-19 vaccine by the United States Centres for Disease Control (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“We have determined to voluntarily suspend our rollout until the causal relationship between the development of clots and the Johnson and Johnson (J&J) vaccine is sufficiently interrogated,” said Mkhize.
A rare and severe type of blood clot was identified in six women between the ages of 18 and 48 after receiving the J&J vaccine. Symptoms of this unique type of thrombus occurred six to 13 days after the women received their vaccination.
