Washtenaw County vaccine changes; new COVID surge ‘hammers ER workers’; pandemic life at U-M Meredith Bruckner, Community News Producer, All About Ann Arbor Published:  Tags:  Happy Friday! A major story this week was the nationwide pause of all use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after six women who received the vaccine experienced a rare blood clotting condition. Here in Washtenaw County, the Health Department and the University of Michigan announced how it would affect their ongoing vaccination clinics, postponing or canceling some appointments, while keeping some scheduled and switching to the Pfizer vaccine. Ad “The blood clots identified after the AstraZeneca and Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine are concerning, but seem to be quite rare,” said cardiologist and vascular medicine specialist Dr. Geoffrey Barnes. “Physicians are aware of this condition and have the necessary tools to diagnose and treat patients if this very rare condition occurs.”
