Pa. extends pause on Johnson & Johnson vaccine
Updated Apr 15, 2021;
The Pennsylvania Department of Health on Thursday told COVID-19 vaccine providers not to give out Johnson & Johnson until at least April 24.
Following federal advice, Pennsylvania had previously told providers to temporarily stop using Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The federal advice came after six woman who received it came down with rare blood clots, including one who died.
One of the six involves a 26-year-old Pennsylvania woman who has recovered.
The pause will remain in place until federal officials, who are studying the situation, give further advice.
About 6.8 million people have received Johnson & Johnson vaccine, one of three available, and the newest and least used of the three.
