(Reuters) - Resuming the use of Johnson & Johnson s COVID-19 vaccine in the United States will require clear guidelines for the medical community on how to best treat patients that develop a rare type of blood clot, as well as alerting vaccine recipients to be aware of the telltale symptoms, according to heart doctors and other medical experts.
U.S. health regulators recommended last week that use of the J&J vaccine be paused after six cases of rare brain blood clots, accompanied by low platelet levels, were reported in women following vaccination, out of some 7 million people who have received the shot in the United States. A panel of expert advisors to U.S. health agencies will meet later this week to determine whether the pause should continue, with a decision expected as early as Friday.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) This June, the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and Nebraska Extension is hosting a statewide tractor safety course for teens.
This tractor safety training course will be held at five sites in Nebraska for teens ages 14 and 15 from June 7 to 11.
The first day of the course will be online, then the required driving test will be offered in person, with COVID-19 safety precautions.
Federal law prohibits children under 16 from using certain farm equipment unless their parents or legal guardians own the farm. However, certification received through the course grants an exemption to the law allowing 14- and 15-year-olds to drive a tractor and do fieldwork with some equipment.
