Based on the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the El Dorado County Office of Emergency Services has announced the temporary suspension of the Janssen Johnson and Johnson (J%J) vaccine.
Among more than 6.8 million doses administered nationwide, six cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot have been reported, with symptoms occurring between 6 and 13 days after receiving the vaccine.
Anyone who has received the J&J vaccine are encouraged to monitor their symptoms and be in contact with their doctor on their health status. According to the CDC & FDA, all six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48. The Washoe County Health District has administered about 2,878 doses of Janssen at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center and through its homebound program.
Since the development of COVID-19 vaccines Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, people and organizations have been working to distribute millions of doses across the nation.
“As we’ve seen throughout this pandemic, the COVID-19 vaccination process is evolving quickly, sometimes daily,” said Jake Vinocur, infection control manager for Barton Health, in a press release. “Check with your county’s health department to learn more or to follow the phased vaccination process.”
Following state and county guidance, Barton established a tiered vaccine distribution plan for its workforce.
With California Department of Public Health approval, Barton received 1,090 doses of Pfizer vaccinations to administer to its staff and physicians beginning in December. In January, Barton received an additional allotment of 1,090 doses.
