The state of Vermont suspended Johnson & Johnson vaccine clinics through the end of the week, Gov. Phil Scott announced Tuesday morning. The state made the decision “out of an abundance of caution,” Scott said, after federal health agencies recommended pausing use of the single-dose COVID-19 vaccine.
Officials from the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement earlier Tuesday morning that the one-dose vaccine could be linked to rare cases of blood clotting.
Of the roughly 7 million Americans who have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, six are known to have experienced clotting one of whom has died.

The bill, S. 30, has been replaced with a âstrike-all amendmentâ that bans firearms from hospitals and charters a study by the Capitol Complex Security Advisory Committee on the regulation of firearms in the complex. The study will look at situations when people have brought firearms onto the property, how those incidents were handled, and whether the issue should be addressed in legislation.

Two new machines decrease turnaround time for in-house patients and patients with scheduled procedures
Vermont Business Magazine Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital (NVRH) has announced that the DiaSorin Simplexa Analyzer, which analyzes lab specimens for COVID-19, is now up and running. This analyzer helps patients who are receiving care within the hospital and those who have scheduled appointments by decreasing their wait times to as little as three hours.
With the addition of the DiaSorin Simplexa platform, NVRH now has two highly sensitive PCR based testing platforms. Having two separate platforms for COVID-19 testing helps ensure access to reliable and timely testing for patients receiving care at NVRH. It also reduces the risk of running out of tests completely.
