MADISON, WI (WTAQ-Reuters) The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is stopping the distribution of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine for now.
State officials say the move is out of an abundance of caution after CDC and FDA officials recommended vaccinators pause the distribution of the vaccine amid reports that some patients have developed blood clots.
Six patients nationwide have reported blood clots after getting the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. All the six recipients were women between the ages of 18 and 48. One woman died and a second in Nebraska has been hospitalized in critical condition, the New York Times reported, citing officials.
