The Pennsylvania Department of Health on Tuesday announced all providers in the state would pause use of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine until at least April 20, following advice from federal regulators.
“While this announcement is challenging, it highlights the vaccine evaluation process,” Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam said in a statement. “The CDC and the FDA are closely monitoring vaccines for safety and effectiveness, and if there is a cause for concern, they will take action because safety is paramount.”

Gov. Ned Lamont urged patience Monday as residents 55 and older became eligible to schedule appointments for the COVID-19 vaccine, greatly expanding the pool of potential recipients in Connecticut.
Residents reported long wait times on the phone, difficulty accessing their MyCharts accounts and other online systems, and appointments that were booked as far out as late April. By then, the state is expected to have opened up the vaccine to everyone 35 and older.

CONNECTICUT, USA On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked what the White House thinks of Governor Ned Lamont going his own way in terms of vaccine rollout.
Psaki responded to the reporter s question by saying the White House stands by its guidelines it has recommended. Well, we make recommendations at the federal level for a reason, because there are groups that we feel should be prioritized, whether they’re frontline workers, healthcare workers, individuals over a certain age as you noted, said Psaki. Our objective, of course, is to get to the stage where there’s recommendations for people who are much younger, who don’t have pre- you know, health conditions that would mean they would qualify.

PHOENIX â A committee comprised of local, state and tribal officials announced Monday that Arizona residents 75 or older are next in line to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
The Arizona Vaccine and Antiviral Prioritization Advisory Committee made the recommendation as they consider older residents to be more likely to experience severe COVID-19 complications and be hospitalized compared to younger people.
âOne of Arizonaâs top priorities since the start of the pandemic has been to protect our most vulnerable,â said Governor Doug Ducey. This updated prioritization will get older Arizonans vaccinated sooner, further protecting those most at-risk and relieving the strain on our hardworking health care professionals. My thanks to the trained vaccinators across the state working to mitigate the spread of the virus and protect Arizonans.â
