SANTA FE – The New Mexico Department of Health on Tuesday announced that Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine distribution will be paused following federal Center for Disease Control and Food and Drug Administration recommendations. These announcements follow reports of six “rare and severe” blood clots – out of 6.8 million doses given – among women between the ages of 18 and 48 in the United States. Symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination.
“New Mexico – like the federal government – is acting out of an abundance of caution,” said DOH Secretary Dr. Tracie Collins. “As we learn more, we will share that information.”
