The Massachusetts Department of Public Health on Tuesday directed all providers to pause administration of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines, responding to a federal recommendation that those particular shots not be given while the Food and Drug Administration and Center for Disease Control review six cases of a rare and severe blood clot reported in women who had received the vaccine.
With more than 6.8 million J&J doses administered in the U.S. as of Monday, the CDC and FDA said they were making the move out of an abundance of caution. State data show that 181,034 people in Massachusetts had received the J&J vaccine as of Monday.

The 57-year-old man was serving a 40-year sentence for arson and murder relating to crimes in the 1990s. Prison officials said he had underlying conditions that led to his death.
The man was the 18th state prison inmate to die from COVID-19.
