Anxiety and a lack of pre-vaccination food and drink likely contributed to the adverse reactions sustained by 11 people who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine earlier this week, a top Colorado health official said Friday.
The 11 people reported dizziness, light headedness, nausea and some vomiting. Two were transported to the hospital and later discharged after their blood pressure dropped.
Eric France, the state s chief medical officer, told reporters Friday those reactions were known side effects of vaccinations. The state Department of Public Health and Environment said earlier this week that, after investigating, they found no reason for concern related to the incident, which prompted the temporary closure of the Dick s Sporting Goods Park mass vaccination site.

COVID-19 vaccines await injection at the UCHealth COVID-19 mass vaccination clinic in the Coors Field parking lot Jan. 30, 2021.
A new federal community vaccination site opens mid-April in Pueblo County, a partnership between the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM). It is slated to be an eight-week pilot effort.
The site, located at the Colorado State Fairgrounds, was previously a COVID-19 testing location. In mid-March, it transitioned to a drive-through vaccine clinic run by both the state and Centura Health, one of six community vaccination sites across Colorado operated by the state.
