The Oklahoma State Department of Health on Tuesday asked all vaccine sites across the state to immediately stop giving doses of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
Earlier Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended pausing use of the single-dose vaccine while an investigation is conducted into reports of apparently rare, potentially dangerous blood clots. Out of an abundance of caution, we have asked all of our vaccine sites to pause the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine immediately while we gather more information, Health Commissioner Dr. Lance Frye said in a statement. This type of potential adverse reaction following administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is extremely rare and has occurred in less than one in every million recipients. However, the health and safety of Oklahomans remains our top priority.
